Since the website was updated several weeks ago that doesn't count. What's the address for BJ's?

Hey Fracky, your spark plugs were toast. #1 was burned down to a nub and the rest were only a little better. They were all loose, too. You now have a new set of Denso's. The code you were getting was a "lean" code so I think we should remove the Shark upload for a time to see if it returns. Everything but the USS is installed and I will do that tomorrow.

Yes, if you drive hard. if not, then no. I will have a video up in a couple days where I did it in the middle of the night at breakneck speed. When I went around a couple corners, flames shot out of my exhaust and when i got to the end, my brake rotors were glowing red.

Awwww mannnn...not my Shark Injector. I love my reset shift points & feeling more "torquey" (not sure if that's a word or not, but if it isn't y'all should use it to describe technical performance improvments ) when I drive. Any suggestions or thoughts on software or Unichip upgrade? Of all my upgrades, I love the Shark the most so I'm gonna miss the lil' guy.

...And "A Big Thanks" to Steve for taking a look under Chicken Little's bonnet on this 92 degree afternoon. He saw where the plumbing seeped a little coolant now that the temperature is climbing.

Was Chicken Little ok? Did Mr.Steve happen to say what caused the coolant seepage? I know we've all experienced lots of "technical issues" but I haven't heard of coolant problems before.

Thanks! Yep, that's my Frackmobile. It's been at Steve's since Saturday gettin' some new bits & pieces. I haven't really driven it much this past 12 months, but you'll be seeing lots of the car around Fresno pretty soon.

Dude, as soon as I can score some lighter rims (instead of my confirmed record setting 52 lb. rim/tire combo) I'm there & square for Autocross. I think I'm going to cut down the tubes holding the "NO2 sub's" & use some regular NO2 bottle brackets. Kinda like this...
