No, I attend the great NMSU

(more of a way to get away from parents for awhile) Still love them though but, you know, gotta get some freedom

BUT, I go to more UTEP games than NMSU games

Okay everyone! I'm finally taking the chance to update everyone on what I'm doing. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning I was up in Las Cruces at a buddy of Richard's (EmperorSS for those that don't know yet) house. Richard, his nephew, friend Martin, and I were working hard to get my camshaft installed and boy was it fun.

For 13 or so man hours, we were knee deep in wrench-turning, oil-drenched madness! Well at 1200 hours on Wednesday we finally finished the installation and turned that 6.2 Liter over! Man what a difference. Nice lobe at idle and loud as hell.

We went to take it for a ride and noticed that there was a nasty vibration in 6th gear. Most noticeable at low RPMs but present throughout the range. I ended up calling Ted Jannetty (for newbies, he is THE man) and told him about it. Low and behold, what everyone has been telling me, those E3 Plugs were the problem. Those plugs are a PIECE OF CRAP!!! But anyway. I switched back to the stock AC-Delco plugs (new) and Charlotte has never ran as good as she did since. Amazing what a difference plugs can do. By the way, Richard found that one of the E3's was burned out and wasn't working properly.

So with my cam install finished, we decided to get started on Richard's. Since I am writing a lot here I will let him tell the details. But I will say that before I left Las Cruces on Thursday, things weren't looking good for Richard's install.

:(

Well I guess that's it for my update. Keep the posting alive guys!

Oh yeah, Friday nights in Las Cruces are CRAZY! Everyone should go!

Ha ha I see! Cool well for sure you need to come to the next meet-'n-greet!

El Chorizo · 07-09-2010, 01:47 PM

Congrats man sounds like you've got it running well.

The 17" slicks are finally in for my car and Roswell is open tonight. Me and a couple other guys will be heading to the track, leaving Alamogordo around 4:30. Anyone is welcome to join us, it's about a 2 hour 15 minute drive from Alamo to the Roswell track.

It's usually prepped well, lower altitude and much nicer facility then El Paso and you can usually hot lap all you want.

Hoping to bust out a 10.8 at least.

Let me know... oh yah, here's a picture.

Gigachip · 07-09-2010, 02:25 PM

haha I feel so dumb. Had to look up what some things are.

Edit: but yes, I do look forward to joining up the next time.

No Worries... Hey you should go out next Friday with Richard and me!

John, I am happy to hear that you have got your car in better shape. If you keep going you can give Mike a challenge on the Strip.

viper1cobra · 07-09-2010, 04:27 PM

When is the next Meet and Greet?

Any ideas for date and location?

I would like to have another one before We leave in August if at all possible.
