That'll give you some time to grab a bite and relax fora bit. What's the latest people can show up Friday ?
I'd like to turn in before midnight so I am ready to go in the morning.

The street tuning thing is less important if the dyno we are using can do constant load.
The more turbo cars I can lay my hands on before had the better, but its mostly and assessment thing, more than part of the tuning regimen.

We should be leaving AZ around 7am.

Actually, the opposite.

Turbo cars on Friday night because most turbo owners are driving **** set-ups and then the N/A guys first o the dyno Saturday because they are seldom much trouble.

I just sent a message to Jeff, until him and I discuss otherwise, the dyno order stands as is.

There is a method to my madness, trust me.

read post 75 and you'll understand why:

1. I'm praying to god that this mo is stupid enough (even though i'm an atheist)
2. I'm starting to understands what the nuns meant when they said I was a troubled soul
3. Please lord let him be dumb enough to do it.

I think that time frame should work fine for myself, Erick and Charles as I believe we will be banging out a radiator install Friday night.

Hey everyone,
Bringeth out your prettiest RX-8s because I'm going to be trolling on Saturday for some hot 8s to shoot for magazines for the next few months! If the weather clears, I might pick the nicest of the bunch and do a little impromptu shoot on Saturday evening somewhere near the shop.

Jeff, while I'm there can you update my Cobb to the latest/greates MazdaManiac flash? I don't need all of the fancy tuning; let's just stick the standard tune in and let it adjust and see where we end up down the road. Call it my little "for the article" experiment...
