Either way I've done more performance stuff than I ever intended to do with this car. I always planned to call it a day after cai/tune,gears and springs. Never thought I'd have all the other crap I have now.

Leo, using what happened to Bill's car as an excuse to not do any more performance mods is like saying you're never gonna use fire or open flame again because your neighbor's house burnt down. Accidents happen, and truth be told (not trying to pee on fresh wounds) but Bill's incident could have possibly been avoided- we will never know now obviously.
BUT, as long as you're happy and am enjoying your car, then hey- that's all that matters.

Canon HD-20 Mini DV, Capable of HDV (digital tape)
Panasonic SDR-S10P (SD card)
I use each one for diffrent reasons. If I had to do it all over again. I would buy the hard drive version of the Canon HV-20. This would eliminate "digitizing" video before you can edit it. Software I use Final Cut Pro & Final Cut Express on the 8 core Mac (yes it kicks Azz

After the figures you gave me this afternoon. Believe me FI dreams are gone.

I'm with you Leo on going way beyond what I originally had in mind for Chris' car.
The car you have now is a direct result of TMS.
In the beginning, I think all wanted to do was tint the windows, lower it slightly and change the over-axles.. nothing else. I think I did those in the first month.

Tom - Canon Gl2 and Premiere Pro. Haven't used either in a long time 
Leo - You just found another excuse to avoid the big F-I. You'll come around
I see what you're saying though. So far, I've been able to stick to my plans... with some unplanned mods (agent 47 mirrors). Never thought I would be going at this quick of a rate though 
I don't understand the reason to avoid slicks 
Jed -
I'll be there at 5:30am. I think I'm going to bust-a-Jed and not sleep tonight.

Let's see where do I begin.
OK, more about me...
Additional impressions. The car gets/pulls to the redline incredibly fast, I am really not used to it. To squirt from 35-85 in third gear takes about 1/4 throttle and it doesn't take long
The tires were a good choice, they stick pretty good, not slicks great, but a whole helluva better than stock. Sticking with 3.55s was the right choice as well, I cannot imagine it reving quicker.... Happy.... yep...
Leo I wouldn't use Bill's car as THE example FI car, bad example. But it's stil true if you're gonna play you gotta pay. Now I don't have the $$$$$ if things go south, but you know what if I blow it up it's on me and I'll pay the piper. The hope is I am forged before that happens. Still don't use Bill as an example. There are a TON of people that have been FI and the stock bottom end without traumatic failure in the test drive.
Getting up early. It sucks. I overhead too many people saying that last year if you weren't here early you were hosed. Add in the volunteering it didn't help. Sorry about that. I'm not an early person. We're gonna have to do the same when the SD show comes around.
Great pics George. Looks like it was a good time. Does the SMS facility have the Chinese made cars that Steve is working on importing.

Opinions. Should I sell the GTA mufflers and get a pair of stingers? With the o/r pipes is their any trumpeting? The GTA's right now have none and their chambered. I dont wanna go to another style a ef my exhaust note. I wouldn't mind something a little deeper... hmm... how bad is drone. I go lts and o/r prochamber...

I was re-reading through the Bill's CMCV write-up because I am installing them tomorrow and I happen to come across this. Maybe this was a sign 
Just for kicks, I tacked down a Sacagewea Dollar coin on top of the block for fun, Eagle side up, of course. I can honestly say now, no matter what happens to my engine, it'll always be worth a buck!

CONGRATS!! Tuesday is right around the corner. Pics man, we want pics of the beast. Vids if you can pull it off somehow. At the very least Numbers !!!!!!
Stingers and O/R-H will definitely have drone and trumpeting. It gets obnoxious at 2500. But Tom and I are the minority on this subject. Don't get me wrong it sounds badd-assed, but for a DD it didn't work for me

****, George beat me to the punch, was trying to get a google image
Very cool. She finally got that monkey off her back. I think now that she has the first one under her belt she'll be even better.
But she does need to do more Maxim spreads......

Jon- Sounds like she's coming together nicely!
Matt- I forgot about that! I'll have to take a pic of it once the engine's out from the car.
Tom- I think you're the only one that finds the 'no BAP required' comments funny. Raise of hands from anyone who shares the same sense of humor as Tom? Anyone??
