Randy has the weekend of July 26-27 open to do our group Pully Install.
This is not a definite yet. However, if there is enough interest to do it on that weekend, it can happen.
In addition to the Alta pullys and Alta intakes he will be installing, Randy will be upgrading some of our ECUs. The ECU upgrade is $699, with free upgrades.
So far, it looks like we have 3 for sure, and a few more thinking about it.

If you are interested, let myself or Randy know.

If you can't make it for this weekend, we will just keep the original plan for late October or early November.

I vote for November as well. These couple of months are hard on the budget (electric bill from running AC at the house).

I agree with you guys.
Besides, I would hate to leave AGRO S.O.L.
I vote for the November install as well.
That way I can save a few more $$$$ for all the other suff I have been working on.
My car goes in for the Stereo System in August.
I still need to save a couple grand for that.

Agro, Black Scoop?
Intake scoop?

Any pictures you could show me?
We have the same color combo and I ws wondering if
adding the black aero grill and black scoop would play well together.

Brandon,
I would prefer to have the pulley and ECU upgrade in November since I'm racing in STX this summer, but would do the July install because I'm power hungry! This heat kills my power. Do we have a air conditioned place for Randy to work? I don't want him to melt. Todd

OK guys, we'll just plan for November. I'll give Atlanta and Lexington a try. Portland and Houston have shown some recent interest as well. No problemo. We should start figuring out the logistics for November or October though. I figure I may drive down to the Phoenix install, considering the beautiful scenery.

Thanks for the input!

Randy

Sounds like a plan to me!

BTW, how's the backlog on Alta intake systems?

I didn't paint the original one. I still have it in case I want to go back to yellow. I bought a new, primered one form Brian and Classic Auto Campus (it was quite reasonable, I got it and the parcel shelf kit for $108 shipped) and painted it. I'm not really happy with the quality of my painting, 1st time I ever did any car painting. I'd like to re-do the clearcoat, but...
As for the install, it took me about 5 minutes. 4 phillips screws and 2 hex-head screws.
