I got my eyes on your build buddy don't let me down now.
I went to a local tuner (same as the person that did the installations) first in order to get a baseline tune done on the car and to make the 100-mile drive back home. Now I am at the point to finalize the process in the wake of my current tune issues which I knew would surface again, being a baseline tune. Yes, you told me about Tom as his popularity continues to amaze me. I am/was a bit nervous about the e-tune route as although I am an Intel officer by trade and familiar with gadgets and widgets, I was/am still a little nervous about putting my skills on the line with "x" money invested in Megatron. Believe me, I want him to be strong and I am discussing things over with Tom via email at the moment.

Totally understand the consern brotha. He is a good guy and will do things right. I mean all you have to do is hide your **** and your fine I don't use my laptop for anything but the car and for when I go to the shootout so its not a big deal for me. But as you already know via pm you and I basically will have the same setup sooner or later.

Thanks, my friend. I appreciate the vote of confidence. I try my best to keep it looking good. I did some extensive engine paint work this weekend and will have better pictures posted in the morning.

None of that stuff is anywhere on any computer of mine, my friend. That could cause me to lose my security clearance. I know I am in good hands and will be taken care of. I am working with Tom to get things started no later than Saturday for the 91-octane tune initially. As for us having the same build, that is true and at this point 600whp and 450wtq on E85 would be my final goal for Megatron.

Yes, my friend. I am running the Weapon-R catch can that I had baffled. It is located on the left side just under the Cusco strut bar. You can see the blue breather filter in the pictures below.

My wife would be more forceful than the government.

Thanks for the bid of confidence, my friend.

Tuning will start this afternoon. Yes!
