Good to have you back in VA, Danew. I wish we could attend the meet at Dave and Busters tomorrow, but money is not on our side right now due to our trip to Texas. Danew just let me know when you want to get together for the remote. Same goes to Doc. And, I still have one more left. Everyone be safe going to the meet.

That would be awsome Joe. I got the 42 lbs right now stage 2 injectors. I want to get the siemens 60 lbs injectors. I think thats the kind of problem I'm having. When I get on it and I'm at wide open throttle the car starts to putter and the check engine light starts to flash. I took it to Bay and the tech says its probably an injector thats stuck, either that or a bad coil pack. So, I'd rather take a shot at changing the injectors 1st.

Danew, I don't know what is up with Steve's car, but I've been running the DSS stage 2 axles for about a month and have no problems with them. I think you'll be fine. With all the work you've had done to your car I recommend not going back to stock because you could snap them. If that happened and you wanted to stay stock I can sell you mine. But, to save you the headache I'd just stay with those stage 2 axles that you have on now.

Joe, I know you're probably using your car for R&D on this. If you'd like, I'm willing to offer my car for R&D also. As you said, the tune I have is not far off, but I think we agreed that it could be better, especially with the injector timing.

i had a feeling that was too good to be true... the bullit is a clean car.. but its based off of the 1970 car chase Green mustang. stealth like lookn with good performance.. a brand new GT500 goes for no less than 55 grand.... and the KR edition is almost 100 Grand....

depends on the RS model you sat it. the RS package is avilable for the v6 and v8 model's. its not the interior that needs to impress me its the "BUTT" dyno that needs to impress me

I wouldn't say that STS is crap. They are based out of Salt Lake City. I've seen their work. They have some nice stuff. Plus, they love racing. The sponsored the Midnight Drags in Salt Lake. They even have a built Mustang. I'm sure that somebody will take a Camaro to them and they will make something for it. However, the Camaro SS has the same engine as the c6 Corvette's. I wouldn't be surprised if they have something ready by now and just need to tweek the tuning or something like that in order to make it run on the Camaro.

Oooh!!! This makes me think. *ouch, that hurt* Camaro SS and G8 GXP are practically the same car. Wouldn't a twin-turbo sedan be the ultimate sleeper!?
