Fayetteville/Ft Bragg/Pope AFB -- TAKE TWO!!!
stripped bolt on top ? all those should be nuts... should be able to get the mani off. you may have to take the radiator out to get room. in worst case you can drop it off at H and H and they have tools to get those bolts out. i'd have to see what you got caught on though... you shouldnt of been taking the hotside bolts off until the mani, hotside and 02 were off the car.

and prolly a tune. no offense, but up top your car seems to fall on its face. i'll prolly be over before FF to do a leak test. possibly tomorrow afternoon/night after i get my new goodies installed. i might just pick up 10gal. of 112 oct tomorrow too and get it street tuned for race fuel after i install the other stuff.

anyhow, we are getting off early as **** friday if you want to come to the house before and leak test. Im not sure if i will run my car friday or not but i will go up there with ya. I've got an issue with my car that i cant quite pin point. It seems really sluggish lately. I dont think its all the tune either. Im running fairly rich averaging about 10.6, but i am getting some nasty knock counts when driving regardless of the tune i run which tells me there is something else that is the culprit. i just swapped my plugs, i have a few other things to isolate to rule them out but if i cant put my finger on it, then i wont run, there is no point... anyways, just give me a call man and let me know about friday... later
tribal, do you think you can talk with hector and ask him if he is planning on giving me the 35 he still owes me for the MBC i gave him like 3 or 4 months ago... thanks
oh but matt, i will make you an offer..... you give me 2 runs on my map with my tune and i will give you 2 runs on your map with a tune, same boost settings and see what time i cut. ofcourse 60ft times will have to be comparable...but just to prove a point, i think that what we find will be interesting.

you are killing me... the tune i have on my car is from AMS... Automotosports, from chicago, the fastest evo viii in the country. What you seem to forget is, i dont have cams, my car falls off much like your car did without cams, just like every other evo in the country without cams as well as the viii has the longer 4th gear... there is nothing in the world a tune from anybody in the world can do to fix something that is mechanical.

is this a brotherly d i ck swinging contest we have here, AGAIN
just to point out something to you obviously your missing, i'll have my NEW GOODIES installed. doesn't matter what boost level you want to run bud. like i've stated before, i love the 1/4 mile and i run it at the cars FULL potential, not half @ss or 3/4. you run yours to the fullest and i'll run mine. since thats the case, i won't be finding anything interesting

I'm getting the impression that Jason meant he would run his map twice in his car, then your map twice in his car......
But then again, I'm just an Air Force guy

ah sh it. brian is back with his "sidekick" services, better know as the "peanut gallery"
are you sure thats what he meant? prolly is what he meant but i remember when a certain Air Force guy told jason to lean his car to 12.0afr on 93oct
that was an Air Force guy, right
i'm not sure if i should trust you on what he meant or not..............

Edit: Because you tune your own car doesn't make you any smarter or better than anyone else...although I'm sure you think you are.

I didn't tell him to lean his car, I told him that is what a local tuner here does and claims great success with. (BTW, this tuner get's paid and is highly trusted/recommended around here....can you say the same for yourself?)

like i said, go back to the peanut gallery or better yet, find a donut galleryshould've just kept your fingers off the keyboard brian. btw, you make the Air Force look bad. next time just leave the Air Force out of it
EDIT: learn to keep your comments to yourself when 2 people are talking(not mad at each other) and you wouldn't ruin threads. especially when your fat and should be doing some pt instead.......
