Langley tonight!

I'm getting with Tom today to help drop his sedan, pretty sure we'll be going. Weather looks amazing, though we all know it rains about 6pm on Wedsneday nights .

Anyhow, there's the scoop.

I'll have to either 1. get my car up to speed with you guys or 2. get an ss/tc. Although I heard supercharging the LAP isn't a bad route to travel.

i delt with josh when i bought my stage two rotated mounts and they will never again see my business im not one to bash but all they are are two kids selling parts and adding a markup on them. It took me almost a month and a half to get my mounts. their customer service was ****. Seans decent but josh is a liar

I'm always up for a challenge. But I know there's a few that would stand up before I got the chance.

Not sure I'll get out there tonight. Right now I'm getting stuff ready for an all day, about 1,000 mi. business trip tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm trying to fix some **** on some ******* sailor's black Cobalt.

Kenny, the guy who is in charge of staging, etc. is Bill Baker (heavy set guy). I was at his place last night working on some stuff for the regular Langley Sat. night guys. I told him to match your ass with one of the real fast cars to park your ass. j/k bud!!

Joe Schulte (Joe #2): I've been real busy, but want to comment on the phenolic spacer between the S/C and intake manifold you're looking into. We've talked about this a long time ago. Here's my $0.019 worth for everyone.... Think about the heat sources involved here. One is the heat generated by compressing the air in the blower. That will transfer some heat to the blower body, BUT... that same air is going straight to the manifold, too! The compressed air is the heat source. Now, in the manifold... Besides the hot compressed air entering, think about the other end: the cyl. head, where there is heat also. So, now we have two sources of heat. Personally, I doubt that a phenolic spacer between the blower and manifold will result in any real gains. That said, Joe I am willing to work with you on any test of this product. But, please understand that it would be very difficult to duplicate operating conditions refecting accurate before and after results. Just too many variables at work! Let's talk more and see how we can accurately test this if you're willing. I doubt the benefits, but I may be wrong. At my young age, I like to keep an open mind.

Guys, the weather is good for planning some serious meets, not just some random ricer parking lot stuff. A planned cookout is in order. Maybe a cruise. I've suggested a combination cookout, photo ops and crusing Colonial Parkway in the past without any real bites.

I've also talked to some of the NOVA people about planning a VA statewide meet.

Then, again, we could all show up at Connor's with BBQ stuff and ask him to demonstrate his diaper changing skills soon!

About heat exchanger pumps: I've rebuilt a few and now have two ready to go. Good price! If you are in doubt about whether it is functioning right, I have designed a simple test lead that will determine whether it's runniing or not without doubt.

And, there's a few of you here that are in dire need of a tune!!

I'll talk to the hubby and maybe we might swing by langley tonight. What if those that are just going to watch all met somewhere and rolled together, that way we can all park together? Just a suggestion.

Track opens at 6pm and I guess racing starts about 7pm. Been awhile since I've been. I figured it anyone wanted to meet up before we could meet about 5:30 somewhere. My cell is 940-337-8565, if anyone going wants to shoot me a text.
