Just be sure your intercooler pump is working by checking for flow in your heat exchanger resivoir and also maybe pitch in to buy the ice that will be needed for the lsj's. I see no use in driving in with it as it would be melted by the time everyone got there so I am just going to buy a few big bags and put them in a ice chest the day of.

bring something to cook or drink if you can.


I will just leave a little bucket out for like tips or something lol...

I'll bring some tip money for food. 4 hour drive isn't the best to be hauling food in.

Sorry, but do you have another picture of what it looks like on my car? I think I know what it is. But not sure. So this is how I check it?

1. pop the cap off when its cool

2. Turn on the car

3. Examine it, to see if it "bubbles"?

Cool but don't feel obligated to bring anything but it would be nice as I am not making any money off this so everything I am doing is out of my pocket. I hope everyone has a nice time this weekend and I am sure everyone will go home happy.


Parking will be in the field right next door and the only rule they have given me so far is only Steve the owner of the car and I are allowed in the dyno bay. Everyone else can watch but has to stand outside the bay and all i ask is save your questions for steve for when its your turn of after its over that way while we are on the dyno a 45 min tune does not take 2 hours due to all the questions and cost extra money.

From my understanding thats how its done. And the resevoir should be mounted either right infront of or to the s/c its self it looks like a little washer fluid tank from my understanding I can't find that pic i had last time lol.

Never mind, I found it.

What happens if it doesn't flow? I mean, it should right? Or I would get some kind of CEL or something in the past.

If it doesn't flow then I believe your ic pump is out and will need to be replaced. If its bad then your IAT witll be pretty high but may not throw a code.

Ok, so your 08 Tc is going to be parked in the field too? The reason why I want to know is because so I know where to go. But im guessing there will be a noticeble entry way. If not, ill just park next to you. Because I know for sure im getting there before nine.

Yes I will be parked in the field lol and from the sounds of it a few people will actually probably beat me there. Its just to the right of their driveway.

Yeah their parking lot is full of shelbys and srt4'sso their parking is limited.

X2...

What kind of tune are we going to get? Like I know for sure it's not a "generic" tune. But what is the tune that we're going to get. So I can tell people that I got this specific tune.

I will let you talk to steve about it tomorrow but from my understanding you won't see much of a difference on the dyno over the street but usually the dyno is the way to get the most out of any car safely. Basically tomorrow once the dyno time starts I would like to see 1 car come off and another in line to go right back on, because any time wasted in between cars comes out of my pocket.


Everyone knows were going to have to arrage a track meet after this right

Its not the generic tune, but the generic tune is that starting point. The tune will be customized to your car. I don't know what to call it other than a Psykotune lol.

I'd consider it a performance retune.
