I contacted Magnuson for some tuning info.. The person helping was great and got me going on the right track. Nice that it was the same person that I had been in touch with before they released the 2650 supercharger. I e-mailed him some pictures of the engine install and the link to this build journal. He was impressed wth my build and offered to send me a T-shirt, I felt bad but asked if I could get 2 of them. One for me and one for mywife, he sent 2, we will be wearing them for the car shows we go to.

Our Thanks, it means allot!!!

Was not ignoring your input, I was laid up with COVID again, my 3rd time.

Finally going back to work tonight (nope, maybe tomorrow).

My goodness Vic.

Well, I missed 2 weeks of work. Since COVID was stupidly released by the Chinese Gov. I have had it 3 times! The second time was the worst, it knocked my imune system down. So I catch every little bug. My wife is an ICU trama nurse so she brings home every bug the homeless drag into HarborView Hospital. Do not know if anyone is aware but allot of companies are pulling out of Seattle do to the Police being Knee capped by our Governor. Basically you can steal up to $1000 of goods and they let you go free. Grocery stores that are still open pay hazard pay to keep employees. The homeless have also been responsable for quite a few fires, one from trying to burn a corspe. But some of my friends try to see the good side to not having a government that sees or deals with crime, they have legalized prostitution saying that former laws infringe on the rights of women.

My wife will not let me go to Lowes without her as she has seen how many sexy women are in business there in the parking lot.

Yeah, I don't even know what to say about all that Vic, it's pretty insane the things that are going on right now in our world. Between all the wars, mass shootings, cops shooting SOME people for no reason, the presidential race, it's enough to want to move to mars. But with all that I still believe that there are
good people out there, they may be hard to find sometimes but they are out
there. Like almost all the guys on this forum including yourself.

morepowerjoe · 11-04-2023, 02:55 PM

Try Costco if you have them around!

FasNuf · 11-04-2023, 07:00 PM

If the women in those pics are any indication, I see why they're still looking for work.
Yikes.

LMAO, Now that is funny! There are a few at my local Lowes that are head turners, my wife has even mentioned it (so I know it is not just me).

Please pardon my rant, it is getting old catching every little bug. Between my surgery, kidney stones and migraines, this just adds up and becomes to much icing to the cake!

What would normally take a day to do takes me a couple weeks...

I do appreciate all the great comments and well wishing, at 62 I will take what I can get! My wife is the greatest gift in my life, it is hard on her being a nurse and seeing me go through so much. I know when it comes down to it she has my back. I Love her very much and God Bless HER!!!

Ok, my friend tried to record on his phone a little ride in the Wild ZL1, Absolutly love the Superchager Whine! Also loved the ear to ear grin on my friends face, as I could barly keep the rear wheels from spinning. I did a short pull in 3rd gear, but did not floor the gas peddle, trying to keep the tires planted...

His last comment says it all!!!
