Dude it'll totally be worth it. Literally and figuratively it all works out in the end. It seems for once this is a case of taking customer service too far too soon.

His customer service has been fairly lacking all along from what Jon has said. I don't think I would want to do business with this guy.

Bill That is crazy shiny. There needs to be a warning sign about potential eye damage when viewing the engine bay

That is great news That had to be worrying, but good to know it was an easy fix.

But the two for one install price would not apply since I went an bought from another source. So he wanted $300 to do the pair of guage installed.

So now in order to get it for the original qoute I'm returning my purchase to order form him to get the nice install price. I love how he ordered without me even asking. He ordered on an inquire I had 2 weeks ago. UGH!!!

So annoying. This idea of being blown better be worth it in the end. *end rant*
I hate dealing with crap like that. I am sorry to hear that Jon. But rest assured it will be worth it.

Just take the plunge already Brian.
There's always better stuff coming out (ie. computers), but you gotta take the plunge at some point.
Besides, the 2.whatever pumps out more than enough power for what we need (or our bottom end can handle).

I don't think it's meant to mock driving conditions, but like Brian said, primarily for cooling.

George, back me up here.. What's the primary function of the propeller on an aircraft engine?

Told you so.

Luis, if you buy/win them, mount them UNpainted first. If you decide against them, I'll take them off your hands at a TB discount.

Man the saga continues! I'm just waiting on one wheel and there is a good chance that I will pick it up Thursday maybe during my lunch muhahahah! If that happens I'll install them Thursday night for the Stillen show. I had a problem with one rim where the center would not fit because of the plating and clear coat. The tolerance became to great the center grew and the hole that it fits into shrank. I just read what I wrote and I got distracted

Doh!

Seriously though Bll that is some serious polishing. They could have used you on the Hubble, could have saved a few trips to space.

Being sarcastic. A 2.3, the 500HO Whipple, is more than enough for me. Even if I wanted more it's all doable it just takes cubic dollars.

Today was the day I got stuck at work. I did go to Costco & Sam's and I checked out two new roll aways. This thing is massive. I don't like the color and the drawer arrangment... $949.00



I saw a stanless version at Sam's Club look pretty good and only $700.00 bones...



I like that Craftsman but it's over priced even on sale...$1,100.00 Gee!




Hummmm

Sam's here had that one and a smaller one. I went with the smaller. I like it. But check the box, my first one was dented on the side of top box and you wouldn't have known it.

Hey I'm a private pilot here:

A propeller is essentially a type of fan which transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust for propulsion of a vehicle such as an aircraft, ship, or submarine through a fluid such as water or air, by rotating two or more twisted blades about a central shaft, in a manner analogous to rotating a screw through a solid. The blades of a propeller act as rotating wings (the blades of a propeller are in fact wings or airfoils), and produce force through application of both Bernoulli's principle and Newton's third law, generating a difference in pressure between the forward and rear surfaces of the airfoil-shaped blades and by accelerating a mass of air rearward

Jed

Come fly with me Beeeatch!

The Whipple HO is badass to say the least.

... and you're close!

Yeah. If I say how close I am I would surely jinx myself badly. So I'm until it's done

Where did you copy that from?!

Now tell us the truth, when was the last time you flew?

BTW Jed, you should get your car smoged!

Habu is that Gas Ronda's car? Your Avi? I have some old drag picts you would enjoy I'll hunt for them. All the legends Sox & Martin, Chi Town Hustler, The Snake, Pisano M, Don Garlets does this ring a bell?
