Adam, looks like I won't be going now 
I finally found out why I kept getting the P2187 System lean at idle bank 1
I took the car out on I-65 to get some miles on it and popped a few hard codes.
P0234 Turbo over boost
P0130 02 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank I Sensor 1)
P0300 General Misfire code
P0303 Misfire on cylinder 3
P0302 Misfire cylinder 2
I just had to lay down $80.00 on a new front O2 sensor, so I won't be making that trip down there Sunday, sorry. See if you can get your brother or another friend to go.
I might not even be making the damn meet in the HHR SS depends on if I can get the sensor delivered and installed in time.

Took the car out and I ragged the living **** out of it about 6 different times 2nd and 3rd gear wot pulls. Parked, turned car off, restarted it and did 2-3 more wot 2-3 pulls.
came home, parked, scanned the computer and no codes. WTF
On a side note the clutch holds great
The upside and downside to the LW flywheel.
Car accelerates faster
Car drops off boost more rapidly between shifts.
Stupid ass GM ECM, why in the hell would I get a P0130 yesterday with Misfire Codes and not one damn thing today
Not even that friggin P2187 I always get.

i'm waiting on getting a work car and another clutch before I go with the E85....
need a work car anyway, figure if I get one, I can just keep E85 in the Cobalt full time... going to probably need that clutch, lol
that is why I was pretty excited to hear i'll probably be making TVA scale all summer and if things work out like they may, maybe for the rest of my apprenticeship, which would kick very much ass and my financial situation would be great
I am thankful I asked for a layoff last week, lol... I had originally got furlowed and when I was told it'd be another week or so before we started another job, I asked for a layoff because there were plenty of other contractors with work... got called about 6 hours later and got a $6/hr raise, you can't beat that, lol
one of my good friends got furlowed the same time as me and didn't follow my advice last week, he called yesterday and they told him "another week"... he then asked for a layoff and he did get a call very quickly about getting sent back to work...... a very shitty call at a very shitty plant for a very shitty contractor, lol
damn the luck, that is usually the kind of luck I have... lol

went ahead and ordered a magnaflow muffler, I figure if I don't like the sound of it, I can just pull it off and go back stock... I went with the XL turbo. its 14" long should weigh substantially less than the stock one as well... got a Borla tip as well, didn't want to ruin the stock muffler and tip, so I went ahead and got a tip that can be put on the new muffler as well, its a 4" Borla, the stock one is like 3.75" so its a little bit bigger, but won't be noticeable and isn't ricerish big or anything

there was some bad ass cars there, my favorite, the Underground racing Gallardo... 1200hp... sign me the **** up, lol:
http://www.luxury4play.com/lamborghi...go-lp1200.html
i'm currently saving for one, right now I have the down payment on a lug nut
couple videos of a fly-by and a crash:
http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...-04-11_992.mp4
http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...-23-41_418.mp4
that particular caution also won the track officials the bone head move of the day... cars were blocking the, they had safety personal on both sides of the track around a corner... and they didn't throw a full track caution until about 4 cars had maneuvered between the car officials around that corner..... finally, they did throw a full track caution
