Pete, isn't the AEM an open box like my Mishimoto or the Apexi one? I like boxes with cone filters better than just an open cone to be honest.

Thanks for the offer Chu, I was thinking more along the line of someone who's also gonna be running, that way she has someone to hang with the entire time.


As far as the intake thing goes, not saying they don't make power, just saying its not a huge bang for the buck mod at relatively low power levels. Yes, some poeple do just like the whoosh sound.

Chu, the AEM on the X is a closed box setup.

Is she hot because I'll be there and I'm willing to take one for the team and keep her company. My wife is going so I might need to distract her.

it ain't that bad. just signup for the holbert, most of us will be there anyways. You'll have a blast rippin around in your 700hp econo-box. and with a couple tips from the more experienced guys you'll be FTD in the novice class!

btw, who is planning on coming to the holbert?

so far I 'think' its:
ME
Chu
Pete

I won't make Holbert anymore, thought you guys knew. The girl is in town for the weekend, so I'm expected to hang with her. I'm trying to work it in for Sunday morning, but no promises. She knows I'm upset, lol

Some software out there does that for you without having to figure out the 'trick' to it. I'm sure there is something that does the panoramic picture out of whatever photos you have from one spot.

What's this about a 'Mini' event and people signing up for, is this the double-header Autox?

you did mention that, but I forgot/assumed you were still coming to mac on Pete's woman.

I made a thread over on tristateevo. they have a bunch of guys who run in the NNJR region, but for whatever reason never venture down to the philly events.
