Yeah the tune isnt to bad, but its not the best right now. But I am hoping for better than the last dyno. I have gutted the CAT since then, and have upgraded the turbo and added methanol. So only time will tell how much power I put down.

Ill be there to help you guys out. If you want ill put a "R" on my window and give you a ride. This way I can show you how to go about getting from staging lanes to the line. Everyone always has their first time at the track and always does something newbie. Its always embarrasing as hell. Ill try to avoid that.

I'll have one week under my belt when y'all see me! I'm actually doing really well. Partially because when most people learn stick they are learning how to operate the car as well as how not to crash. I already know how to drive so I can focus purely on getting a feel for it now instead of freaking out about other cars getting close like we did as teens!

See here's the thing.... I've only been driving manual since friday. I'll have one week under my belt when y'all see me! I'm actually doing really well. Partially because when most people learn stick they are learning how to operate the car as well as how not to crash. I already know how to drive so I can focus purely on getting a feel for it now instead of freaking out about other cars getting close like we did as teens!

My 8 was my first daily driver stick and I only crashed it once! Actually, the crash was 9 months later and had nothing to do with stick.One piece of advice I can give you on that front though is definitely have someone who's been driving stick forever drive around with you a few times to make sure you're not getting into any destructive habits because once things are reflexive they're really hard to get rid of.
6AM at krispy kreme... that's getting up as early as Packwood... lame!

IHOP works for me. What time is everyone planning on roll'n in to town?
I'm on my second reman engine now. My first reman would die very often and then not restart for several minutes. I also started having a lot of cluch problems immediately after getting the first reman. I took in several times for both problems, but every time they couldn't find any problems. It finally had a catastrophic failure a little after 2000 miles. After the engine was removed from the car, it was found that the fly wheel could slide in and out about 1/2 inch if you pushed and pulled on the pulleys.
