^it helps that you're a flip. We knows how to hustle!

You've been quiet for a while. How's the car with the new clutch? Whatever happened to those LEDs for the interior?

^It is my setup, but it is still getting progressively better. My biggest bottleneck has been the HFC, but that is gone now. I don't know for sure that was impacting my torque per se, but it was a bottleneck. Also, if I threw more boost at it I would get more torque but on the stock block I don't really want to push it much further.

Maing, I PM'd ya a while back to hear how things were going but didn't get word! What's going on, maing! Last I heard you were putting in the Magnus and some other stuff, but not sure if you busted that pesky 430 plateau! I'll PM you so you can at least text a brother!

I must not have gotten it? I got your number now. I'll save it.

yeah, I was told to pick my car up tomorrow evening then I have to go get tuned by Aaron.

Member when we were hoping for 500 wtq?lol It can happen, but the tune has to be aggressive. Also stock motors with 450+ WTQ on dynojets aren't lasting long. (from what i've seen) I dunno, still debating if i should do the motor to get the WTQ I love!

My car should be done soon. You'll see the write up then we can compare. ttys

Man now we're gonna have to get aaron a bigger helmet. Thank you for allowing us to meet your needs past present and hopefully future. The shop is "humble" but we are going to be working on that over the winter. I think ditching the cat will definitely help power and I am sure on the Red there is even more to be found. Aaron is standing right here and says thanks as well

Definitely future! I foresee a few more trips already - hopefully one of which will be in a few weeks!

Thanks again, Lucas. It is always a pleasure to head down and hang out with you guys!
