We went to Peppino's when Ray and I were there last week. The food was great and the drinks were good too. Your all in for a treat if you show up.

My 8 failed on the dyno today does that count??

159 hp and 129 tq at 7,000 he wouldn't take it past 7k because I was to lean.. I might not run with my e-manage and just put my mid pipe on and see where that gets me. I started leaning out hardcore at 7k into 14:1 and climbing...

It's all in the tuning... *****!

There's one 6 port lower in HP then my 4 port. I can taste the beers coming already. Or was I suppose to buy a beer for the 6 ports that has less HP than me. Did I just say that again?

side bets:
$10 to Shady if he can beat EasyE1's peak HP figure
$10 from laythor to Shady if Shady can break the 200 hp mark.

this should be interesting
