I can't miss this bro. What am I thinking.. I'm just gonna have to finagle my way out of work an hour or so early. I could just go from work straight there, and maybe get there around 3:30. I need to stop by Grubbs some time this week and pick up new gaskets for the intake, and plenum.. Any one gonna be able to bring an inch lb wrench? Mine is loaned out, and in Austin at the moment.

how many inch lbs you need? my digital torque wrench does 10-100 ft lbs... I do about half of the lowest setting and it works fine.

Yea, we need it for the plenum. If any of of you guys that have one can bring it, that would be really cool. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a small tarp on hand too if anyone has one. Maybe a 10' x 10' or something like that. Last time I had my car on that dyno, I went to change out my plugs and dropped one down in the dyno platform.. Never to be seen again. If we lay a tarp under the bay while we're changing parts, we can detour that from happening and losing important pieces.
