Car: Well, I virtual dyno'd it, got it on the quarter mile and autocross track, and completed the rear wing from Japan.
Personal: We just closed on a new home (setting up right now), came back to Mainland Baptist Church in Atlantic County NJ, and meeting new members at the Reformers Unanimous program (http://reformu.com), and hearing testimonies on how God is transforming lives.
I'm yet to get out and camp with the nine year old, but started taking him out fishing. Camping may have to wait till this fall when it cools down a bit.

Listen man you better watch out, you're getting hanged I mean married just now.
Next thing you know you will be sitting on the couch watching your daughter drift her fire truck across your hardwood floor and scratch it nicely, with the TV on in the background on a Sunday afternoon and wonder why you're not working on your project.
You've been warned.

Lmfao...
I'll get there someday hahaha!
Again, congratulations Josh! Keep in touch bro!
For some reason, I had it in my mind that I posted my own goals for 2014 but when I searched the thread, nothing came up. Did my PC lag that day? Or maybe I used my crap-phone to post it...*mysteries*
In any case, I'll think of a few things and I'll definitely post it up!

ive been tinkering with the idea in reflashing the ecu, but i just bought the piggy back and im extremely happy with my car, to the point where i do the look back and smile at her every single time i leave it in the parking lot. i saw that the piggy back and timing box work better together. I am not boosting nor will i get a reflash so i figure the combination of the 2 are for me. it's a bolt on or should i say plug in, 2 minutes to install for a gain. sounds good to me.
if you say so...I would say very little research went into your decision...boost patches are one thing, but full tuning capability, and actually remapping the ECU are far superior, regardless of forced induction or not...

There are so many more threads out there regarding this. Hopefully you see what we mean by "ECU remapping > piggyback units". Cheers!

I understand the reflash is superior to the both combined. I purchased the piggyback before I even read Into a reflash. I also understand there is way more capabilities to the reflash. If knew of the reflash option before I purchased the piggy I probably would of done it. For what I want this will be suffice. If I want to take it to the next step I would sell both and reflash it but honestly man I'm in no rush. Building a car is a learning experience and this is my first build. Like I said if I knew all of the information I know now I probably would of done it different but hey it's a car either way never going to see this money again.
