Knee seems to be good after u of m sucked all the goo out of the cyst and nailed it with some steroids.


I think I'm going to try to change the bird to speed density since it's free now. MAF is a restrictions now - so it might gain a little or not. It'll will be nice to tell the computer to piss off and run open loop  :rock:

I think SD will be awesome. The VE table is dialed in to 4000 so it should only need some minor tweaks and the fuel tuned to 7200.


It'll probably be June before I can touch the car. I have another surgery on Friday so I'll be down for 6-8 weeks again.

Thanks guys!


Hopefully this will be the last surgery for awhile. I need to do something other than deal with the aftermath of the C02 fractional laser treatment. The changes in the scarring have been nothing short of amazing.

That is great to hear.  You have made a lot of progress.  I am sure a lot of it is due to your attitude

Thanks Steve I appreciate it. It's been a long hard road, but usually anything worth doing isn't easy.

I'm just grateful I can live a semi-normal life, enjoy my family, etc.

That procedure was a bitch - and always is. I'm doing good now, but I'll be sore for awhile.


Someone go work on their car so I have something to read about.

Glad it's behind you!  I have started trying clean up and organize my shop so I have some room to finish the Camaro, finish what I was working on six months ago on my GN and then work on the Challenger.

Registered the car today and washed it.


Put 4 gallons of 93 and 2 gallons of E85 in it. Should freshen up the old gas  :rock:


The BFG drag radials on it hate life with 4.56 gears.  Forgot what power felt like....

Put 50 miles on it today - my brother drove for 10 of those miles. Exhaust is to quiet - cutout is getting opened tomorrow.


Brad I can do a walk around for you. I need to make a camera mount - ride along video would be cool.
