with only a chance of thundershowers, and a total of less than 1mm of rain (@ 30% pop) I'd not worry about it...
last night they were calling for 26 tomorrow - now they're calling for 28... looks to be a nice day!!
here's what the weather office is calling for;

I'll swing by Timmies then on Sat and see whats going on. anyone know a dealership willing to install a stage kit without selling me the parts? I asked Jack Carter but he said I would need to buy it from them for them to install and the quoted me at $1400 which is crazy.

Kris, he probably kept up with you because an auto removes all driver error. as per Trav's comment below, with hd/dp on the car, you will get moving quicker, but might not be a bad idea to look at the afr / timing maps on the car. if you're opening up the rear, more timing advance is possible.

[QUOTE=Pickles;5149710]Good luck to you. all that work and money with a different mani, tb and trifecta, it's still a base model built for teenage girls and grandma.QUOTE]
Dude are you trying to make fun of me? keep saying all you want about a car for teenagers and grandmas. Oh an rentals.
I was trying to make a point that with the right mods a 2.2 can beat a 2.4 so it looks like i am close. ya i will have to put more money into it then a 2.4 will, but honestly that is half the fun.

It would be wicked to see you prove me wrong. Hell, I met a guy in the SoCal crew with a turbo'd 2.2, and I was impressed. It Can Be done.

Pickles, I think you forgot something very important;
all these cars are marketed towards old women & teen aged girls...
the last several SS/TC's I's seen were either driven by someone like us, or an older (as in well past 40yo) woman...
btw, have you not caught the recent bit if family plus discount tv spots?
if you have, there a re teen aged girls excited in a a new SS/TC...
I'll give Graham props for having fun with a car he could afford - and from what I've seen he's already done more to his car than most SS owners do...
(I think he's done more than I plan to do)
If his car wasn't so new I'd be all over trying to help him do THIS
...but since his car has VVT all we can do is figure out if there is anything else he can do...
(regrettably, it seems to me that cam swaps is quickly becoming a think of the past)

honestly guys it was the best racing at the track all night... even sammy and the boys were getting into those 2 clowns duking it out lol.... they were honestly side by side all night. i truely hope to see the grudge match soon... sometimes it isnt about pure speed. sometimes it is about taking out a bigger motor... i usually feel pretty damn good if i beat a v8 or 6!!!!
