my union friends are a bad influence, I got drunk on Miller Lite tonight.............I despise the stuff, but one thing I have found, go to a union party, you will drink a "union beer"... and guess what... Miller is usually all they have....
I also showed my brother the 5.0 video and when he read the comment about "you can see my rear end go down"... he said "yeah, its called shifting into the next gear"... lol
he also said he's got a single cam pushrod if the 5.0 wants to race, but those were his words... not mine, lol
(those line and that solenoid are for looks, though he'd be more than willing to go all motor and if you accuse you of spraying, he'lll show you he wasn't the next run)
yeah his tag says I ate a GT... and he's not lying

the inspiration and the best car commercial ever, lol

You guys can keep doubting that E85 but proof is proof.

I can confirm that we do have an E85 station in Muscle Shoals, checked it out this morning...
I'm just wondering how big of a pain it will be to go back to 93... because there just isn't enough E85 pumps to depend on E85 in the area... but i'd love to have it for the track and/or fun on the weekends...
but if I go back to the 93 tune with a little bit of E85 in the tank and or if i have a little bit of 93 and put some E85 in it, how big of an issue would that be? because draining the tank to run a new tune isn't exactly my idea of a good time, lol and right now there just isn't enough E85 support to rely on it

I read that there is enough E stations along I-65 to go from Montegomery to Indianapolis.
My suggestion is get E85 tune for the weekends when you race. You know how much fuel a week you use, don;t get to much 93 and then wehn the weekend comes only fill up 1/4-1/2 E85 at a time and switch tunes.

Clutch is working great, no chatter what so ever with the light weight flywheel.
Others said they get a chatter on cold start up, mine was just as quite as the factory clutch.
Put 10 miles on teh clutch driving around town, no more then 3k rpms.
Then took it out on I-65 and put 20 more miles on it at no more then 3k miles.
Engagement is low, like every single race clutch I have ever used including the one in the turbo Van currently.
But pedal pressure is almost exactly like stock.

i'm going to do the E85 and hope the stock clutch holds, lol
Drew stated that you can run the car until the low fuel light comes on, fill it with E, limp it home and load the tune... and when you get ready to go back to 93, load the tune even with a little bit of E in the tank and fill it with 93.. he said it'll run a little rich and skew the fuel trims for a few miles but nothing major...
I won't even have to limp it home, just load it at the gas station just load it via the cable and laptop at the station

we're actually supposed to be on 5-8s for a couple of weeks, but 7-12s is coming and they are saying until July... but with TVA, if they say July... it might be September, lol... so I really don't know what my work schedule looks like right now
they don't get into a hurry with anything, but for the cash, i really can't complain.. I can work like that all summer and then if work was to get slow in the winter have put back enough to lay on the couch collecting my unemployment and still have a nice egg to get by on
