BTW - the day of the surgery is not as bad as the following days. Saturday was worse than Sunday for sure. What really was a pain was that I had an allergy and migraine hit me Friday and got worse on Saturday.

Anyway, doing pretty good today and even have a SPRING in my step. :P

Thanks for scoring a bucket for us AxtecRol.

Okay guys, we've spotted them a bunch of points, but the gap is now 100!

Let's keep it up. Where is Casper when you need him???

Well, with the west coast gang less than 100 posts away, it's going to be very difficult to beat them to 2000, but we'll have done it with fewer views. Meaning our scoring percentage is higher than their's.

Also, we'll have more dyno runs and track results posted then they will have.

Hey Guys,

Check this out. It looks like the MMI and MMII are still alive and kicking.

If either one of these are proven out I'll be getting them before headers.

And MMI will benefit from the WDP MM.

Yes, and now they have added some insults to boot!.

Oh well, they may be ahead for now, but can they keep it up?

We'll have to challenge them to see how many people they can turn out for a Friday/Saturday event.

Honestly, I don't know for sure.

Assuming the standard TL 3.2 is the same block as the Accord V6 block it may work.

I'd have to do a full search and or I suggest PMing Bitium.

The WDP MM works regardless of engine type.

They're really whoring it up in the Sac thread, that would be funny if it got closed cause it turned into an unauthorized PW thread.

Danny,

Yep, they've even posted blank messages over there now.

I'm not going to worry about a PW with them. We got a lot of good stuff going on over here. Especially on the mod scene. Just go back and look at how many of us have been posting on mods, with more on the way.

Let's keep this thread going, but let's keep it high quality as well.

So how many people do we have for the races, and for the dyno day?

Also, besides Inferno, you and Mantis, who wants to have a little "shop-day" to work out future mods for the groups rides?

Now, about dyno day. I'm going to try and make it, but just to watch and see what's up. I think i'll put the $50 toward some mods. I may dyno down the road if i ever get headers.

Hmm, I know whats basically involved with headers, but not cams. Dude, I'm sure you could pull it off with a little help, and pocket the money you save for another mod.
