And of course now its pretty neat.....a tremendous amount of work but a lot of fun also....the new engines are really well developed from the factory probably because of guys like Terry that worked on those old combos for years and many of those things are standard on engines today......We done many things to our cars to make it much easier to work on....which I think scares a lot of people away....I know I was...but all in all when you get it the way you want...its no different than the old cars.....just a few more wires for fuel injection......lol...some of you old timers would be experts in no time...and probably love it....try tuning cylinder 6 only in 2 minutes.....with a couple of keystrokes.....
I still enjoy driving my 170 mph super gas vette.....but the 08 CJ is a blast.....

I have to agree I like my 1970 small block chevelle well enough but it is a dinosaur,I built what I had and used what I know. If (when) those new z-28's are accepted I would love to have one of those, after all I installed a data aquisition into the car so why not use a laptop to tune the whole car with a few key strokes. for the record the car is older than me but my 6 year old niece runs circles around me with her computer skills.
