That may be so, and we have all taken part in the gibberish too. But, you and I both remember when it wasn't allowed to happen anywhere near the extent it had been in recent months.

Not the most technical person on here, but like to read up on those threads too. Would love to do some things to the Boss, but time and cash haven't been that available lately. Really thinking of throwing an MGW shifter in, have some friends that would be willing to help. Know it's not as easy as the Hurst shifter I put in my '05, but sure I can handle it.

I had an OBD display hooked up in my Boss. It was mounted to the windshield in my line of sight and made a great heads-up display. Until I discovered it is always on and had drained my battery when I went 3 weeks without driving. DOH!

I would think that is correct. But I just clicked pages 1001, 2001, 3001, 4001 at the top back to 08 and I stopped. Didn't see a lot of difference.

Whoops! I've seen a couple of display like that I wouldn't mind trying. Have you seen the SCT that hook up to your iPad, or whatever, via Bluetooth? A little on the expensive side, but could be cool. Still trying to decide if I want to do TracKey when I get back.

I havent seen the SCT, you have a web address? The one I bought was <$50. Nice that you can use it to read and clear ECU codes.

I like TracKey. Whether or not it is worth the money is a personal decision. I havent tried the Launch Control. Need to find a deserted parking lot for that

Because as it is now, if for some strange reason my factory tune became corrupted, I'd have to trailer it to a Dealer and bendover to pay them to reload the factory tune.

I was driving around looking for somewhere to play a couple weekends ago. Have this little place right off the base that is somewhat open and empty on the weekends, except for the military cops. One of my good friends is a cop and was working that day, told him to listen out for me getting busted! Just did some doughnuts and enjoyed the smell of burnt rubber.

Really wish I would have been more into working on cars growing up. Missed out on a wealth of knowledge with my dad. Always loved going to the races though. Friday night grudges and the Winter Nationals were the best!

I turned it into a career because it was what I knew and it was easy. Stupid UTI commercials make it look so exciting. It's either in you or it's not. A very small minority of mechanics work for pro race teams. Most of them are broke and have a world of other issues.
