Pics from Import Showdown today...
biggest problem I'm facing now is... taking the risk of paying out even more money for even more tuning on the UTEC and gambling with the outcomes... either I waste even more money to hate the UTEC more... or the next tuner will have better results... I don't know... any UTEC tuners around Atlanta that offer a 100% satisfaction gaurantee or your money back by any chance? =]
btw, domestic ricers are cool... there was a 5.0 fox-body mustang on the highway comming back home, with a truck behind him... the mustang had #'s still on the car from Silver Dollar Raceway... he kept gasing his car over and over, provoking me to race... while the truck gave me a ::shrug:: trying to provoke me and put me down too... I don't know if the fact that I was going 50mph... or if because I sounded like I was revving at them everytime I hit the gas in 5th gear... or cause they're just ricers... but I guess they didn't have enough fun at the track. I think a skateboard... or a pair of sandals could accelerate faster than me with my burnt clutch... no exaggeration.

man, do you have a laptop? read the manual on the utec and figure out how to adjust the sensativity of the knock sensor.
you lost power on the dyno because your cut out was making the motor think it was knocking right? you think a freaking FLASH is going to fix that? If anything, it will pull more timing because nobody wants you to blow your motor with thier flash. I can promise you that.

What has been done to the car?

JK! I ran 11.5 (got smoked by Val congrats on the times BTW). We were dialing in the car. It's the first time it has been to the track since it's gotten to 522 awhp. We had to figure out what to set the 2-step at. The track was pretty slick, too. I think I'll try to go to Commerce this weekend to practice my launch 
Dan will be out of town...so we'll see. I'll have to see if he can teach me how to turn the 2 step on and stuff!
Awesome pics!!! I had an fabulous time. It was nie to meet some of you. Congrats to everyone on the times. Hope ya'll used sunblock! I'm crispy burnt.

The head is not ported though. Oh, and I just noticed that I said that I ran a 11.5. I actually ran 12.5. Dan did run 11.2 though.
