Come on. You talk like a two-pump-chump. Gotta get the wagons ego up so that he can go the full 12 rounds, then get knocked down. You know some of us will get there eventually. We just don't have the money to throw into our rides like you do. Wait until I get that tune Joe is working on, and a new intercooler pump. Joe didn't pull on me too bad when I was in second, even though my iat2's were already over 130*. That, and getting my clutch bled, I should be able to edge him out. We'll see though. I could be completely wrong.

There is no problem with that. I just don't want his ego to get too big, though it may already be too late. And it's not that I have the money to throw into my ride. If my money were like that, then I'd have another cobalt ss/sc to drive along with this one. I just know how to put my money away for a rainy day or bad situation. True, I had a good foundation to start on, but I know how to make things last. I have bills and responsibilities like everyone else here.

Well, if you want some forged pistons, I have some in the stock size that I can't use anymore. You'll just need some rings for them. I'm glad you're joining the fold. At least for you, the tuning will be a lot more simplified. And either of us can answer the questions that you may have.

It's okay, man. I was just giving you a hard time. I know how it is. I just had to give you a hard time. Haven't seen you in a while, and we had a really good showing at Bass Pro the other night. Only people I can think of that were missing were you and Cesar. It would be nice to see you again.



Joe, I've been talking to OTTP today. They admit to 2 mistakes with my order, but we are working on getting it taken care of. 1) Apparently, the LS4 tb spacer comes standard with 1 tap. People pay extra for a second. I don't understand it, but it is what it is. The plugs you are talking about are going to be the easiest solution. I'm trying to see if they are going to include them in my next package. 2) The coupler I managed to stretch over the LS4 tb is, as we figured out, intended only for the LSJ tb. They claim there is another coupler for the LS4 tb that is an extra $8. Apparently, they don't list it on their site (still scratching my head to figure that one out). I'm going to order it and see if they can send the plugs in the package too. Due to the holiday I doubt we'll be able to get this taken care of this weekend.

Also, I'm now experiencing a minor inconvenience caused by the OTTP 3" intake. Did you notice how close it was to the horn? Now my horn doesn't work. I'm going to try to figure that one out, but think a little might have to be taken off the intake to make the filter fit without affecting the horn. I'll figure it out. As it is now, replacing the intercooler pump, taking care of all the issues I'm having with the new intake, tb, and tune, adjusting my 2pass setup, and vacuum bleeding my clutch should get me up to 100%. Then the real fun begins.

Btw, I missed my 2-3 shift in the MMBT tunnel against a certain wagon. Ironically, that same red car was around me too.
Connor, I got a reply from HPTuners last night. They have acknowledged and duplicated the issues we had. They expect to have another code compile done in a week or so.

Cesar, unfortunately that project is on hold for now. I'll let you know if there are any changes.

How about if the Secret Society were to get together and arrange a dyno day? I think we should do it after Danew's car is done and broken-in. It would allow time to find a place, arrange a time, and save money to do it.

Lol,....not.

1) Even though she knows how to login, she doesn't.

2) She knows how I feel about her family and the holidays. Why do you think I passed on a practically free trip to Disney World last month? She knows that I feel 1 event is bad enough, and that 2 just adds to it.
