you can get rid of torque management in second gear, you dont have to run soooo rich, you can squeez out a few more ponies, you can limit boost in 1st gear. thats most of what people do cause gm's stock tune is "ultra safe" or lame, but i am a warranty warrior, so i just deal with it for now.

well that's good, cuz my warranty is almost gone. I would kill for more torque in second...I hate first gear, so more low end grunt in second would let me shift sooner. The richness I can live with if it means number four won't go boom..

you don't need colder plugs with your mods..........you should be ok with your 42# and stock tune. If anything you will foul up your cat. Still not the best on your car. Definitely, try not to go into boost.

credits are 50 a piece, and you need 2 to unlock a vehicle. So $100. I can do what ever you would like to your car. remove torque management in second gear, play with the tune (as long as you have a wideband or someway to install one)

My car right now has boost cut 50% in first gear to help with launching, no torque mangement, 7200rpm rev limit, slight tune over stg 2 (i only have a 3.1 pulley though) either this or next week Water/meth injection is going in, and spending some time really tuning it. Probably call up nate and get a 2.9" pulley also. Also within a month i should have a return style fuel system going in, since my fuel pump is going out.

Anyone here drive a Red SS/Sc that was on I-35 southbound around 12:15 today? You were pulling off to help or pick up a stranded car. Gonna guess around the Northfield, MN area

OMG this room is dead...what ever happened to Devin? I havent seen his car at his work in weeks...I guess he could have just parked in a new spot but I also havent seen his friends SRT-4. I wonder if they lost there jobs. Also, I think I saw Kat_01 today at a gas station...she was still driving her truck (that is if it was her).



Also, here a nice pic I took of the Hotwheels PR Chick go-kart racing

idk but it is snowing in duluth like a motha fooka. had to drive 55-60 after hinkley to my house. I wouldnt mind one bit if it was spring yet hahah. i swear roommates are out to get me, they leave **** all over the house...WTF. I should start a poll, do I live with my current roommates, 1 girl 1guy (they are a couple) still in college, they are nerdy and quiet and respectful but just are cluttery and leave **** all over but if i tell them to pick it up its fine. OR do I move in with 3 other guys that are still in college who drink constantly but it would probably be a cleaner environment but i would assume very loud. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

do the guys drink alone or do they have the ladies over to drink wth party? that is the only important question.

nice pics jeff. i've been leavin work way early pretty much every day for the past two weeks just cuz i've had a lot goin on outside of work. had monday off this week along with friday now.

tommy and his srt-4 are gone, he was fired a few months back over something that was extremely stupid but since they got rid of the banker group we were in they were lookin for reasons to fire people... i made it to sales but tommy got fired. he left at 4:15 for one of the carolinas for boot camp though, he joined the army and is goin right from boot camp to i.t. school til the end of november then he'll be back for 15 days before bein shipped to where ever they decide to station him.

lol i say you take a look at some cai. i was so happy that i got mine. i love mine so much though because the wine of the supercharger is nuts now, i didn't do it for any change in performance. i'm sure you'd have a good time with one oh your ms3
