Then i have to put the front end back together and do some other small things.The ECU is about the only part i haven't gotten yet. Hopefully i can get some pics of my car and show the work he did.

I just received a gigantic newspaper-sized glossy color picture book with nothing but tasteful fashion photos of Taylor Swift.

This is now the single most bizarre thing I own. Not bad for a freebie though.

It comes with Sony's higher-end digital cameras. It's about a foot wide and two feet tall with thick pages. They paid her and a photographer to do 8 hours of shooting (with Sony consumer equipment) in all kinds of outfits and settings, mostly tasteful dresses in the woods or with vintage cars. She's an extremely photogenic, beautiful girl but she's ten feet tall and rail thin which makes her look a little bit underdeveloped... NTIWHI (not that I wouldn't hit it)

Unfortunately, she still writes songs like a 14 year old, playing the virgin-whore thing like a tired old fiddle. At 22 years old, she should have evolved beyond "I've been dumped by the 300th guy I've dated" themes.

And you know me. I prefer them short , thick, and fertile-looking:
:biggrin:

Ditto, aside from the short part. Being 6'3", a short woman is really only good for a couple of things :naughty:

I dated a girl that was 5' tall when I was a teenager and I felt like I had to touch my toes to kiss her :chuckle:

When I was a teenager I went out with a girl who was 6 inches taller than me. If you can imagine spooning with a giraffe...

Mornin' Ray !

I stepped down in it a couple of times , it is a lot quicker even at just 6lbs of boost.
It's going to be a blast at 12lbs! :woot:

12? That ought to be really fun. I don't know what James is pushing in his. But I do know he has forged pistons so I'd guess its high.
That 12 is going to become a bar in no time flat!
The boost is incredibly addictive and I can totally see why folks build entire bottom ends of engines to handle more. It really doesn't get old.

Kinda like firing guns. Speaking of guns, check out this link:

Guns as a jetpack.

LOL at the jetpack. :chuckle:

I think a forged bottom end is in my future.I might just get another block to build.
Speaking of lots of boost,there is a guy on KAT.org that is pushing 39lbs and it is his daily driver!
