Out. I used up my free day with the nice weather yesterday thinking it was going to storm today. My car is staying in the garage today.

It just varies depending on how the wife feels these days in her condition. Wish I would have known about Kellers, I would have done that because I was already out!

Haha, yeah I'm sure I miss out on a lot of events since so many people revolve their social life around Facebook. I'm just not interested in what people are doing every 5 minutes or reading their political/religious/personal drama rants on a daily basis.

Yeah, it is that time. We're about to do the same thing. Gotta drag everything out, see what made it through the summer heat in the attic, get the lights ready replacing bulbs etc.

You will understand one day when you have a family and a house of your own. The holidays take a lot of time up and planning in advance. When you have a family, the time flys by. Christmas will be here before you know it. Trust me on this. LOL!

My sister & bro in law just had their first baby so my mother wants everything to be perfect this year.

We're skipping Thanksgiving to go to our farm in Louisiana

Glad you made it by on your one day. It was good bullshitting with you. Finally got the car all cleaned up. Next it will need a buffing but the tune up is next weekend, then the dyno to see what needs to be done if anything.

Yeah, it was good to see you again and I"m glad to see you back in the hobby. Just let me know when you want to cruise out to TS. It's going to be nice outside all this week!

Ill send you a text tomorrow to set something up later in the week. I think I'm going to do the tune up and then have it put on the dyno to see where it's at. Really hate to start dropping money on stuff and not even know where I'm at now. The car hasn't been on a dyno in almost 10 years. Looking forward to making it to some events. I'll bring the old 5.0 to your new ones.

I'm guessing it will make around 450-475rw which isn't bad at all for as old as that setup is. A new tune, get rid of that FMU, some new injectors and it should crack 500rw pretty easily as long as the head unit is still making boost and there is no issue with any seals.

There is still some cool car shows coming up before the end of the year we can hit up and there is always Kellers on Saturday nights.

I'm wanting to try and make it through the rest of the year with the fmu if possible. Since I get to have another surgery on December 18th, only 3 this year not bad. Then I will start getting everything together to get rid of the fmu and get a chip burned. Not wanting to push to much power don't want to have to build a dart block 331 stroker yet, but if she does blow that's what I'm doing. The block only has 42k miles on it so I want to make it safe and cruise.

bad ass Donnie, Steve said you bought your dad's ole vert. I had planned to, but now that Im getting it running, my dad wants to keep it a while. lol Will be cool to see it at the gtg's though. I dunno your combo, but Im pretty good at guessing #s... if its a fmu S trim car on a stock block, depending on heads and boost, Id guess 430ish rw for a normal safe setup...
