Texas2SS couldn't get a good pull done on his car with DRs when they were trying to do the no2 tune. This guy here is a dummy compared to rhino though.

I sent you a PM. I'm not sure if they want me saying on here or if they care but I don't want to tick anybody off.

Probably not in november. I'll be in the eureka springs area sometime in october. I think Gwatney is less than 4 hours from our lake house. Axis would know... He was thinking about ditching his family for a drunken lake weekend a while back.

Matt had just come back with Kronix's, I think that is what he said, car and they had just started another, ABM with black stripes, they had just finished. She said mine sounded better than those two and I had to explain that those two had cams and one had not been tuned yet.

I basically explained that the cam is the brains of the engine and went on to explain everything else and she actually got it. I was impressed. But I have been training here for some time now, lol. I also explained the differences in a drag racing cam and a road course cam. Just prepping here for when I get mine.

This thread kills me....

They act like it is rocket surgery or something and that the CC is some power adder of great proportions.

Zeke, I got sumting for u.

Also saw a couple of unicorns today. A BMW M1, Jaguar XJ220 and a Buick GNX. The GNX everyone has seen but the others I have never seen in person before. Will post pics when I get home.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

My wife just doesn't care about the technical details. She won't even listen to me explain long enough to get an idea of what I'm talking about. She loves a mean sounding car though, so I can't complain. I just bring her attention to any car we come across with a wicked idle. Gotta keep her focused.

I just get that "whatever" look when I try to tell my Ol Lady the things I'm wanting to do to my car.

Since I didn't troll through the 241 pages I'm not sure this question has already been asked, if so, sorry for the repeat. Getting my 2014 2SS/1LE in a few weeks (fingers crossed) and I want opinions on the best intake system. I've read articles that say those that have an air box cover are more restrictive.....true? Any supporting facts one way or the other? Right now I am looking at Airaid. So - looking for opinions, thanks!
