Shane or Will, if you guys decide to get together one day
or weekend at the drags in Memphis, let me know. I'll come
from the Little Rock to see that engine. ;)

Yeah - no offense to you Frank (and Tom and others - you know who you are) -
but
isn't it funny how all of a sudden after someone runs a 9 second ET that now
there are lots more tech stuff flying around. As for the IAT, MAP and TPS
stuff
- - your buddy Bernd is your best resource there as he has done most of the
testing that everyone else just wonders about. But better than that - he is
MORE than willing to share his results. Lets see them cards yall 8-).

Please don't let this piss off some of you - as it is only meant to bring
some
more out so Bernd isn't burdened so much flogging his mule all the time.
Lord
knows we've all seen/heard of lots of that 8-)) j/k LOL

Seriously tho - I must give props to Will and the real bad ass Dak. I have
to
admit that I was a bit skeptical - until I had one of my MANY friends around
the
Starkville area (all were on the lookout for ya bud 8-) check him out and
take
my word folks - I haven't seen it in person YET (remember me offering you
that
free steak dinner for a peek - Will?) but one of my buddies HAS seen it in
person. In fact, Mr. Will himself gave my friend David (a parts mgr. of a
Dodge
dealership somewhere 8-) in MS) a tour of the engine compartment. I'm still
trying to figure out where that track is tho. I've personally raced at the
1/8th mile one in Columbus (what a piece of shit track) - almost went home
with
a bullet hole in ME that day and did wind up in the emergency room in
Memphis
the next day due to toxic poisening for breathing the air around the track.
You
must be going back south towards J-town.

McCool Hall Country Club huh? 8-)) I personally hung out on Engineering
Row
(Simrall EE and Butler CS) during my 12 years at MSState (we got some Dawgs
up
in here...) We used to call you guys BISQAs (Business Information Systems
and
Qualitative Analysis) back in the day...

Oh yeah - WHATEVER you might need down there - I can hook you up. You must
come
up to M-town (Memphis) sometime and run our NHRA 1/4 mile
(memphismotorsportspark.com). Free steak dinner and even bed and breakfast
for
you and the misses (her and the wifey can hang if they don't want to smell
the
burnt rubber all day) if ya decide to come up. We've got a nice 3 bedroom
home
on 3+ hilltop acres (no kids!) so we have plenty of space. I usually try to
hit
the test-n-tune on Thursdays. Oh yeah - the Penzoil Nationals (or whatever
they
are calling it this year) as well as the Super Chevy Show will bring the big
boys doing 315+mph runs and setting new track records almost every year. I
used
to live about 1.2 miles from the track and you could almost feel the ground
shaking (definately could hear them) when those guys ran. Now I'm only
about 7
miles from it but out of the ratrace of M-Town. I've got a flatbed trailer
here
at the house at your disposal as well.

Ok - I'm not gonna pay you but.......uh.....how much would you charge? 8-))

Latr,

Shane
