    Yeah, it was pretty humid, considering all of the rain that fell the day before. It's going to be nice and dry tomorrow (humidity in the 50%'s) and Ben, myself, and a few others (including the Eclipse I helped turbo) are going to the track. Jay's (the Eclipse owner) friend is taking one of those turbo 4 cyl. Conquests that is running 30psi of boost and N20, lol. Not all imports are Ricers

    Oh, update on my car. I got back fine with the car from the meet, but when driving to work all week, the problem has come back, so I have to thank the Big Guy upstairs for a safe trip. I did trace it down for sure this time though. Severely corroded + wires from the battery to the starter and fuse panel underhood. Also Nick (previous owner) can't tighten starter + terminal wires for shit.

        Nah, wrong Nick, but nice try though, lol. :P This one just had a habit of leaving it out in the harsh ass sun knowing what it does to paint in that part of the country. WTF is it about people named Nick w/ rare W-bodies parking them in places they shouldn't?!?!?!

                After the meet,....the day after we got back I should say, I had the new Custom Length Crane Chromoly Pushrods installed. Initally it gave a really good torque increase. But now after it has kinda settled in, there is a bunch more power across the band. My engine operates a hair bit quieter now. The MAP is also pretty steady now thus the idle is damn near smoth, if I had mushy hydraulic mounts I wouldn't feel it at all I'm sure. I will try to get times either this week or next. The new Sappy Program is working well with the rods. With the new program and rods in theory I should top current standing pretty well.

                Taylors car got the same Tx plus the new wiring harness(Thank heaven for that). His car seriously took advantge of the new pushrods. His engine has more response, though not like my engine but top end is much better than mine by a huge length. His engine is a just a bit quieter but not like mine. I remember his car being quiet after it armed up when we replaced the vavle springs.. but just before and after the meet the engine was always making noise. I think the lifters were taxed after dealing with the stiff springs and wrong length pushrods, so it would probably be in his best interest to get another set sometime. Also try to get this car at the track as well. He will most likey beat me pretty good.

                    The turnout was smaller this year than last year, wasn't it?

                        I just wish there were more west coast W-body owners... rather, more on here.
