So update... the dyno fell through for this show... va beach dragged their feet with the permit...
however, we are upping from 25 1st/2nd classes to at least 35 and no more than 50 classes, as well as 25 Best Of Trophies.
and of course your car show entry gets you parking at night for the fireworks, we have a crystal clear shot of mt trashmore

We will have the dyno at our end of summer bash in september.

Maybe this combined with a glass-pack is the ultimate solution: Dead-quiet at idle, highly-noticeable under full-throttle, and just loud enough (With the right tone) under cruise.
Just thought I'd put that out there.

random, but I met a guy last night who ordered headlights for his 300 but got shipped cobalt headligts instead. Brand new, in the box, projectors with halos and LEDs for.....$100. Probably picking them up today. I'm pretty excited

I've looked at it and sounds good in principle. However, I wonder about the long term durability of the valve mechanism. Also, like almost anything else sold these days, creditable dyno numbers are either "top secret", or just not done by anyone neutral with the right methods for creditable data.
So... somebody get one and I'll be glad to help setup a before and after dyno session!
J & J Custom Auto ......
Plus J tuning!
Too many damn J's!!
(should have been in Joe 3's car today...!)

Thoughts, Kyle??? ****, I only got 4 hours of sleep last night (that nearly kills us old farts!). Then, I had to tune either Ren or Stimpy (not sure which one!).

no one local, apparently has a used LSJ muffler for sale, and it was like $330 on GMPArtsdirect... which means it'll be like $315-320 with my priority discount... so i'm exploring other options and see if i can make a final decision.

I hear you Kenny. I decided to finish the new color for the ceiling in the bathroom I painted. Toned down the blue a lot. I didn't mow the grass until 8.30pm. I was going to go racing, but decided not to because the temps at the track were suppose to be worse. Hell, Kim even decided to buy some plants and plant them. As soon as she got back from Lowe's she was like F that. She put the plants near to where they are going and came inside for the rest of the day.
