I was glad to go along for the ride. Or is that along for the drive? Or just plain old drive? LOL.

Hopefully I'll be blabbing about the same kind of stuff very soon.

Taner do they do any 3rd gen chip dyno tuning? I won the high bid tonight on a supercharger and will need my chip reburnt after it is installed. Maybe I will call them monday. Glad to hear you picked up some HP. Now stop so I can catch up.hahaha Like that is going to happen.

Chris,
you are going to have to change your sig, lmao!!!!! i don't know if they do that type of tuning?

Brett,
cost of my tune was already included in my previous bill.
i was amazed how quickly kevin had everything dialed in.

Chris JA... YOU been shopping ebay too, huh?? KOOL!!!

Tan-Man... YOU are the only one better than me who can intice someone into a post! I was gonna suggest you vent the N2O purge tube to the OUTSIDE of the car!!

NOW: What is a more N2O friendly camshaft? What does the N2O like? To keep the valves open longer or higher??

I could be wrong, but doesn't Agostino's charge around $500 to do a base-line dyno pull, then some custom tuning, then another dyno pull after the tuning?? I can't remember exactly, but I asked them about that a while ago. I'm sure it would be less ($200?? ) just for a straight dyno pull or two though?!

BTW: those are some awesome dyno #'s you got!! And what track do you normally run at?? So far I've only ever been to Cayuga 2 or 3 times, and Shannonville once. I've heard though that Grand Bend is supposed to be a really good track?? And where's St.Thomas? Is it a good track? THX for any info.

Question

Sorry, one more Q:

How far from Toronto are Grand Bend and St. Thomas?? I've heard that Grand Bend is about 3 hours (or a little less? ) but how far would you say from either of the tracks to T.O.??

Thanks again..................I'd like to try somewhere different this year.

i would say that courtice/bowmanville is a good 3 hours to either track. check out www.stthomasdragway.com or www.grandbendmotorplex.com

Cool, thanks!

Tom (transamtom) e-mailed me the link for St. Thomas. I think I'll probably have to take a weekend and go to both tracks --- one on Friday night and the other on Saturday (or Fri/Sat/Sun?!). I only made it to the track twice with my new car last year, and ran a best of 14.008 @ 102.99 (stock ) so once I do the gears, hopefully I'll be running a more respectable 13.something?!.

Well, maybe I'll see you guys at the track some weekend.

Thx for the info.
