Technically I'm banging the bosses daughter so I'm lucky to hold my job let alone get paid what I do. I make WAY more than the average tech in my industry. I had no job experience as an engineering tech, but a ton of mechanical experience and a gift for making and assembling complicated parts. Otherwise I would be in the military or huffing drywall around job sites. I got extremely lucky so asking for a raise seems stupid to me. Until I'm done with school I'll just suck it up and let the money come as it has been. This is the only job I ever loved so I don't want to push it.
Dan, what does your wife do if I may ask? For some reason I thought she was in school or something.

^ Josh, did you strap that thing on a dyno? Where did you get the #'s in your sig?

Either way, nice job! Looks like you've got the tuning sorted, can I assume some late night pulls on the bypass?

Lol. It's kind of a joke like the rest of my sig. Evoscan keeps throwing that number at me after a lot of tuning and tweaking here and there since I got the meth system back online and upgraded to comp 280s. I highly doubt it's accurate at this point. Then again with the stock turbo and HKS 272's it kept estimating around 320 whp which is what it felt like to me so who knows. Yes all done on the bypass on my way to and from work.

Nope, one more early next month, and it's expected to be at Delaware Park again.

Any info on the porsche? I'd come but i got class. Anyone going to be there videoing? Weather should be good. I don't see why consistent 11.3's wont be laid down compared to our last trip to atco.

That would be me... My wife is studying to become an RN. She has a ways to go, she'll be leaving her very good paying job soon to concentrate fully on school.

If thats the number you were getting before with your old set-up its probably pretty close. Good for you.

I hope they change the run order for this weekend. Looks like BSP is running last, which mean we'll be there all day! Waivers isn't going to be fun either!

I thought about signing up for SM just so I could run first and get out of there. That was when I thought I was going to work waivers... now if I go I know I'll be on course so I guess it doesn't matter. Waivers is the ish, what are you talking about...
