Then it was to the road for a short ride with Randy. All I can say is this guy can drive. I am not much of a passenger but it was fun holding onto the side of the car whipping around the streets. And the ride home was a blast. This car runs so much better now with the added HP and of the line its unreal. Thanks Randy. What a great guy and a great mechanic. 1hour and 8 minutes for the whole upgrade proccess. This guy was sweating bullets and never stopped for a breath.

:smile: I'm glad to see the report from the road. :smile:

If you ever get a chance, ask Randy for a ride in his MINI if you're out this way.

well, I don't know about you boys and girls , but I just LOVE mine. Can't wait for the throttle body to come out next.
We're planning on working with Randy to set up another pully install next month. I payed close attention to his installs and see no problem with doing them myself once we get the proper equipment from Randy. Will bring some sign-up sheets on the 29th for those who are interested but not yet made the leap. There should be plenty of people there to talk to that have done the mod.

I love mine too. The extra power and torque down low makes it much nicer for semi-calm around town driving, plus it really screams when I want it to. I doubt I'll ever see 23MPG in town again, but my SPG (smiles per gallon) has increased.

Nobull60,
I had the pulley done on Friday before the tower meet. What a difference on the low end. Quicker response in every gear. I had to get a hotel before the tower dinner so I left Randy early thinking I had had the ecu done. DUH! NO! What they do is read each ecu out of every car which is different. Getting the (I guess) proper indivigual infornmation and sending it out by computer overseas. Then they send it back with all the trimings. Well I left before the trimings had returned. So Saturday morning I had to returned to the shop to plug the computer back in and inseart the trimings. WOW ZOOM Red line is a lot higher. Did not gert the dyno like I would like to have though. Left right after on the turnpike back towards Brooksville with a sore face from grinning for so long. Go to see all of the southern gang again. I have been trying to figure out how to post some of the pics I took while I was down their. The old florida site was just drag and drop. Need help! :???: I am using an imac if that information helps. Plus I do not know a lot about posting and URL's what ever they are.
Doug

It was great to meet all of you. Hope you had fun and also got the performance you were looking for.

Look forward to seeing you all again.

Nobull60,
All the mods are running just perfect.
By the way what were those wire numbers or colors I need to connect the rear top brake lamps together?

I was at the pully party on friday morning/afternoon. Had the pully and ECU upgrade done. Very happy with both. I can't get enough of the great whirlling sound as the supercharges does its thing.

Thanks again to Randy and the RennTech guys - one and all.
