That is a long story & I have some extremely strong comments regarding this individual. Suffice to say you have access to a great tuner who can help you achieve reliable, balanced numbers & get the most out of your car.

Well Big Joe,
Maybe you can share your story sometime. I haven't been to the shop in months. It would be nice to see Steve, and the crew.

I have heard that if you install a CMS sticker on your car that some Dyno's will increase by as much as 15 Hp

No, you need the shorty antenna also to get that much.

Hey Fracky, Nick's intake manifold was hand port matched to his head and can't be used for a core. I sent pictures to Keith and he confirmed so we have to figure out another option. New intake manifolds are about $350 so we need to find a used one. If you go to http://www.car-parts.com you can get one from one for about $150. Right now, I can take the one off the engine here and send it to Keith since I don't have time to work on it at the moment.

Sounds good. I'll get one from the link you've provided & you can have it in exchange for the one you pulled off my old motor.

Hold off until you talk to Nick. His flywheel is scalloped badly and I wouldn't want to re-use it. I think a clutch upgrade is in order.

Wow, he's gonna love this phone call. He wants to hear from you, so please call him. I'll still cover the intake manifold. He wants camber plates, but you can advise on the need for clutch upgrade.
