Haven't posted in awhile. Been deal with issues with my supercharger install and installer. Last issue to be ironed out this friday. The original shop which did my install bassically bailed on my, never returned my calls(even though I'm waiting on a part from him) and he deleted both his work e-mails. I've had problems with my fuel sender since day one and problems with communication with this shop owner Don Walker (Modular Madness aka Gulf Coast Dyno) since we first met for this supercharger deal.
Car died on me once and I called him with no returned call ever. Anyways, I'll deff post a much more detailed thread about my experience with this shady shop owner. Apparently he has a god awful rep online. Tons of shady deals and messed up cars. Least my stuff is minor compaired to others.
Have another shop helping me out, they fixed my guages last week which when they saw the mess Don made they were baffled. No idea what he had done in there, explains why the guages never worked. And now this friday I go and there going to fix my fuel sender issue.
This new shop's an hour away which I should have originally went with but because their about an hour away I didn't and went with convience. I'll update later. Just a little FYI to any of the local Tampa Bay area owners looking for a shop. And I'll deff be posting this story on every forum I can get access too. Dont want anyone to end up like me(spending over $500 to fix a mess) or worse.

Just got back from vacation. I skimmed through everything quickly...
It seems that Kyle has worsened over the night. Here is the latest update from the Care Pages:
**At this time, the family appreciates your support and prayers, but request some time together to support each other at this most difficult time.**
Kyle has had a very difficult night and morning. His lungs are surrounded with fluid and this is making it difficult for enough oxygen to get to his brain. His heart is also being overworked. A procedure was done to remove the fluid, but he is still having a hard time moving oxygen through his body. Our family appreciates all your prayers and support and ask that you continue to lift everyone up as some very difficult decisions are being made. At this time, it is important for our family to have some time together. Thank you for understanding. Please pray for comfort and peace for Kyle and all his family and friends. We love you all. We appreciate your prayers and support.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support during the last several days. We are now asking for a different kind of prayers as Kyle's family and friends deal with the loss of a loved one. The fluid around Kyle's lungs caused respiratory problems and his brain wasn't receiving blood and oxygen. There was nothing more the doctors and nurses could do for him to sustain quality of life. The heartwrenching decision was made to stop the life support and donate his organs to help save the lives of others. We know this is what Kyle would have wanted. We ask that you pray for our family and for the families of those who will receive the gift of life from Kyle. Please remember all of us in your prayers in the coming days as these will be some of the most difficult days we have faced. We know that Kyle is in a much better place and he is whole again. We also go on with the assurance that we will see him again one day. Until then, please continue your prayers. We love you all.

Man... this wasn't the news I wanted to read. R.I.P Kyle. Didn't know you personally but had some great conversations on TMS. You where part of the POTR crew. I'll be praying for your family and everyone involved.

God bless Kyle and his family
I just read the posts and I was deeply saddened by the news. I prey for emotional strength to Kyle’s family to a lost son, a lost friend. An individual I didn’t meet in person, but I know from his writing’s Kyle is an awesome guy. I looked back at some of his post and it brings me back to a time where Kyle is having a great time modifying his Mustang. Chatting with his buddies online on TMS. This is how I will remember him.
God bless brother

Jed, that is probably the best way to sum it up IMO...... just a normal guy, loving his car and enjoying spending his time talking to schmucks like us about his hobby. I think you're right, that is the best memory to have..... a dude loving his car, taking involvement in the hobby, and talking about it freely and openly to all of us here.
Thanks Kyle, for letting us be a part of your life.

I read it earlier and it was heart-breaking to get the news. I am at a complete loss for words. Thanks to Jed for something as eloquent as this.
God Speed Kyle.

Hi guys. Back from Vegas and was keeping tabs on Kyle's health while I was there.. and now the blowing news this afternoon.. f*ck.
Of course, none of us westcoasters never met him in person, but we were always here talkin' up his and our mods in POTR.
POTR is a cool hang out where we share Stang and personal stuff and I know Kyle liked it here. We never poked fun at his 4.0 and always treated him as an equal unlike other places where GT vs V6 is so prevalent.
Kyle, our friend, will be missed.
Time to have a F'n drink in his honor.
