I feel like that lady in the department store commercial, nose pressed against the window, chanting "open open open".

I can't wait to see dyno's on this thing.

I'm still here at work waiting to see myself. As far as i know right now, it's still not on the dyno. I'm starting to think they are not going to finish today. I'll keep y'all posted.

i can almost assure you it will not be done today.

just like bodyshops, most, if not all performance shops never deliver on the estimated date.

unfortunately, that is the norm in this business.

i would be surprised otherwise.

No matter how painful this is ... I'd rather wait and make sure my car comes back to me perfect. IF I get to pick it up tomorrow ... it will be exactly 4 weeks which is 1 week over the initial estimate.

wow, i am excited for ya terry. and yea, its a known fact that initial builds will always run longer than expected. R&D takes lotsa time. Measure twice cut once.

How are you planning on passing emissions? I figure the piggy back/standalone setup would throw some codes and hamper your annual testing. Its the only thing that worries me about the setup.

you dont really need a "hook up", just bring your friend Benjamin Franklin and he can do the talking for you.
