One last order of business:
I need to know if anyone will not be there at 9 am. I am putting together a dyno order to keep things organized

Hope you get the car figured out, you still trying to tune it yourself?

I have low compression and had Jeff dyno tune anyway last Saturday. The map is now based on my maf, injectors, and mod variances. It's a toss up, but I wanted to see just how bad the engine really was. I'll use it on the new engine as a base to start from.

Good Luck guys - and stay organized and on schedule!
