Yeah, in testing the stopping distance from 60 mph was barely different between the LSJ/2.4 and the LNF. Main advantage is in brake fade on a road course.

The tune was originally for a m62 2.8 pulley. Then I strapped the TVS on lol. I'm sure now that it's been data logged and what not it will be good to go when I get the update.

strange for sure, whn i strapped the TVS on with my tune for a 2.8 on m62 it ran 14.7 it was just when i got on it it leaned itseld out to 12.5 ish. Just remeber when you get meth that 11.8-12.0 is the hot spot at WOT, utilize that 2.7 pulley and the nozzle that was installe don the meth kit and your good to go

I actually tried to reply right after I got your original email but it wouldn't let me send. I was doing it from my phone and my outbox password was wrong so it wouldn't send. Had to reset passwords and do like 10 things before it would send. By far the most effort I've put into anything this year lol.

If I was to have a project vehicle I think I'd build up an older Porsche. Possibly like a 928.

does your camera have a threaded hole on it's base?

If so I'll bring my tripod to see if we can just set it up and let it record...

So I just got in...
That Conan movie was not worthy of all the scathing reviews btw...

Anyway MSN seems to be completely down... zilch... nadda... so I have emails... but I can't access them...

another good reason to not get involved in sports...

What happened to your "clause"?

Yuck!

over glorified VW's, plauged with problems... major PITA to work on...
(I would know, I've worked on one)

early 1990's = electrical nightmares + terrible quality of construction...

IMHO stick to 1st, 2nd, or 4th generation F-bodies... speaking of which I'd be willing to part with my '73...
(but don't get any notions the like of trading it for a case of beer ect)

Get something old...
something that has far surpassed depreciating...
something complete & running...
something that has a solid body (the better looking the better overall ~ but this will bring a higher buy in)

Browse eBay to see what's out there;
You might be surprised how many people use eBay to figure out their "next project"...
OR buy a classic car trader...

Solid, paint sucks, it's circa 2006, but the actual paint was apparently just crap quality ~ looks to be 30 years old
It's an original Pontiac 350 / TH350 car... but like most cars of this vintage there are things left to be done on it, and parts/stuff purchased for it...

re: price, I'm not giving it away, and wouldn't discuss it on a public forum.
