We sure did. Do not fret, I think they are trying to get one going in Houston sometime soon. That is not too far from Corpus.

It is not your fault!

I hope we are not giving up on this. I will gladly call and ask what the hold up is if that is neccessary.

Still no dyno plots ?????????

Well, then I believe this never did take place and there were NO gains!

If there is no proof, then it never happened!

It must be a big conspiracy.

915-329-0036 cell or call the speed shop 915-595-0000. Maybe you'll have better luck than me or Mike.

If Rich had them I would think he would have given them to us by now. I think some sort of explanation from him or anyone involved would be nice. I mean we did PAY for these services. I think this is pretty unacceptable. just my .04 (adjusted for inflation)

Sorry to tell you this, Danny, but if you adjusted your 2 cents worth of commentary for the latest rate of inflation (12 months to May) it would be worth a little *less* than 2 cents. No where near 4 cents! "Inflation" was -1.3% over the last 12 months, and just +0.1% in the month of May. It's a real recession, no doubt.

Still don't have the dyno plots, regardless of the economic conditions.

ha!!! When I wrote that yesterday I KNEW I would get correct calculations out of you! Thanks Phil.

I would just like some sort of explanation. I mean did ANYONE ever speak to Rich? Did he say too bad, no dyno plots for you?

This is true, and I will be starting a new thread on this tune event very soon. Trying to nail down the shop and the dates. It is looking like October 16/17 at present. Look for the soon to be started thread for details.
