I called Fresno Performance to re-re-confirm our Saturday event & Eric said they're looking forward to having us there. The earlier the better for tuning purposes, so I e-mailed Emil to see how early he can be here to work his ECU magic. What do you all want for lunch? Eric wanted to check what we want & they'll make it happen. I'm thinking BBQ'd burgers? Lemme know by late tomorrow gang.

Beer! Oh, that's Brad's line. BBQ'd oysters. Somebody just has to run out to Tomales Bay and pick up some fresh ones.http://www.tomalesbayoysters.com/

This is Fresno: Why try anything new? I guess it's a burger sort of town.

I just got an e-mail from Emil & he said he's thinking of leaving his house at 4am to be at Fresno Performance by 8:30am for good temperature + tuning. Now how's that for going the distance for your clients? Steve, do you want to provide some of your culinary expertise to grill us some filets?

I guess growing up on the coast give you a different perspective on what's edible in the ocean. See you later.

Hey, I grew up near the ocean, but I don't eat anything that creeps along the floor or the rocks Well except shrimp.

Why not? You eat cows that crap all over themselves and are covered in flies and other bugs. And fed all sorts of chemicals.

Yeah, dead cows. And if it's "aged" then rotting dead cows.

Alright gang, Emil e-mailed me & said he's leaving his house at 4am to be here in Fresno @ Fresno Performance by 8am. I'll call Eric at FP today to advise him of schedule & our desire to much on ground dead cow meat. I'll be at FP probably at a quarter till 8. See you guys there!!

Sounds good, it'll only be 85° at 8am. The dead cow meat will have a chance to age faster, too. I know JIMINNI is bringing the scroll fan to keep the intercoolers cool, but I hope FP has a lot of fans to keep the customers cool. It was only 102° in my shop yesterday and the weather looks to get hotter by the weekend.

Ok, the fan came out great The hard part is going to be adapting to the intercoolers. I have a 8" flex hose, the kind you would use for a a/c system for your home. I taped up the end really good and am using a wire made out of a coat hanger to clip on to my Alta I/C diverter, this thing blows like a banshee and will blow the hose all over the place, so we will need to clip it somehow. I will bring extra duct tape, wire and long zipties. BTW, once you open a bag of this flex hose, it's not too easy to stuff it back in

Dude, I just had a mental picture of you doing this. Thanks for going the distance in getting us new good airflow. Given the **extreme** sensitivity of my AIT probe(s) I'm not sure how/if we're gonna do this with my DFIC. We'll have to have the good doctor lend his expertise.

Well, remember that this Dynojet is the raised platform type & for insurance purposes we can't be up there.
