^I'd be down, except I think I'm going to try and take a Saturday spot actually. It still depends on everything I could be doing pre-tune.
On Saturday for the exhaust install, can you get to my place early? We should be able to finish it up pretty quick and then I could burn down there. The reason is there is a xxx meet I would like to try and make on Sunday, and there are some peeps that will be at the DO on Saturday I'd like to see also.
BTW - this is a catback install, right? I will go check the thread. That reminds me, I gotta get a nice set of ratcheting wrenches that would help big time under there!

If you do make sure to get a 19mm. That's what I had to use when I did mine, and it usually does NOT come in the kits you can buy. Also, if people are interested in doing installs and what not, I have a decently sized 2 car garage and a large collection of tools, ramps, jack stands, torque wrenches etc.... Also, just for the season, I went and got a 23000 BTU kerosene space heater, so no more cold nights working on cars
I have a single spot with heater/tools/compressor etc. you should invest in a lift and charge shop time!
I would almost pay it just to use a lift on the harder stuff. Not like rolling around on my back isnt fun or nothing!

Aaron or Billy, put me down for a Saturday spot! Aaron put me down for Sunday but I'd rather take one of the later spots on Saturday!
Thanks, Andrew. Agreed on the kits, they usually go to 17mm. I want to say that is what mine took though - a 17mm. The car is on the ramp so I just gotta get under there and check.
My garage space is good with power, compressor, and tools, but I still gotta clean out the empty boxes/goodwill/dump items, and I do need a heater now that winter has hit! I was helping John from Monroe chase down a water leak inside his vehicle and it got really cold as soon as that sun dropped!
Friggin' previous owner attempted to run a wire through the firewall and drilled a hole into the driver's side wheel well! I'm not sure if that was the only area that was leaking but we patched it as best as we could and hopefully it will be good for him.
The wires behind the kick panel looked good and we ran out of time to get the tire off and check the inner well seal. My other fear is that the previous owner drilled more holes elsewhere.

bump!
so the store i ordered my mbc effed up. i'm still waiting on the heavy spring i need for the hallman manual boost controller pro. it didnt have the heavy spring when i picked it up a couple of weeks ago. i waited until today when i asked for an update on it. they said "hallman forgot to ship it". he said eta now is wednesday, couple of days before i head down to down for the ER tune.
if this doesnt show up, where can i get the spring from?

^im hoping to run higher boost (22? 25? depending on what ER would suggest is best).
actually, there lies another problem. when i installed the aem boost gauge, the max boost it'll read is 10-11. i tried pulling in all gears, various rpm levels. i had shane/john/miguel have a look at it when we were down last weekend. they said that i tapped to the right vacuum line. today i have time to find a boost leak. it could also be the current tune it has now from the previous owner.
as for mods, i will have megan 02 housing, dp, perrin cat, dereks epic cat back, mbc, 255 fuel pump.

What time is everyone planning on showing up on Saturday? I know its first come/first dynoed but I was just wondering if people will be showing up all throughout the day or what. I have to work later in the day so I was probably going to come around 12 or 1 or so. Its only 7 days away
