...the good news is ~~~ the lean mean green machine is back together with her port matched intake and tb, new TFS 23 degree heads, SLP cam, 1.6 rollers, timing chain, SVO injectors, SLP torque converter and custom chip, and she is running like the proverbial scalded dog. The chip burner wants me to put a couple hundred miles on her so the computer gets used to all the new stuff, then put her on the rollers and see if any of the parameters can be optimized. She pulls really hard now to 6200, but most definitely needs stickier rubber, as I really have to feather the go pedal to keep her straight through first and second. Have to seriously look at the BFG KDs for her...lookin' at 275's for the front and 285's for the rear.
...and yes, it is indeed Tuesday. This'll be a 4-day week for me 'cause I need to get started on Phase III of the deck building project...
...Pine waits for no one...
...have a GR8 1 y'all...

Mornin all. More sleet, slush, snow, freezing rain overnight, but all rain now. Maybe we will get rid of some of this mess.
Jimb0, I am really sorry I missed the green machine. Sounds like an awesome ride!!
Hawkeye and Possum. I am about 95% sure that we will make it to Michigan this summer. I think Carlisle is just a bit too nutty for me and since I won't be looking for a 2002 SS now, I don't need to see the unveiling. If it's just me and Grace, maybe we'll take the Z06 and you can take if for a spin!
