Thanks ! Thats one of the best compliments Ive had here, I make it an effort to specalize in the Impossible......or at least rolling large stones uphill in a difficult fashion.

My "Hero" of mythology is Sisyphus, smart enough to trick Hades only to be punished by an eternity of rolling a stone uphill to have it roll down lather rinse repeat.

Step 2 get the car dialed in right, Im thinking it will take this weekend and another T&T, I am thinking Im going to need a second battery using 8 20 amp igniters for the coils and jumping a .060 gap Im lacking amps and getting some cut, were working on that today, if not tommorow Ill go with some 12 amp igniters I have. Just all the fun of setting/wringing a new setup out. Plus Ive got a LOT of em noise from, well lets say "nuclear option" items....Ive got some shielding to do....have roof flashing and windows screen as well as mylar covered bubble wrap resady to build some faraday cages in the car. First I need to isolate the noise thought.

But all fun....

Met some great people, all great people, well 1 dick but hes not a stocker

5600 posts....sheesh 690......ok now 692.........5600.....damm If I got paid by the post maybe.

(You forgot my bout of pneumonia, and being in the hospital with my son for weeks in the middle of that all ...lol)

Cheers

Geez..........

Hey SOMEONE has to be last when they come out to play

Besides, I wont say its how you play the game, rather IF you play that what the loser usually says.....

I got my grade point to Gaineville, and had time while going down the track in the Pacifica to change Neil Diamond tracks to Cracklin Rosie.....(seriously)

Thanks Gary and Rich for the info. Drooze does exist!!!!.
Now my next project is the Loch Ness monster and the Sasquewatch, then I can rest.
Have a great safe weekend.

Neil Diamond???

Damn thats whats wrong.......get some Nickelback the hell in there.....the car will go faster......

and the world loves a winner..........losers not so much...

[Michael Beard]

I take it your Pacifica is an AWD model, to have to run Q/SA? I assumed they were all FWD until I just looked it up. In either case, I still have a hard time believing that's all the faster it went. My bone stock Turismo went 20.45 the first weekend out (and then Billy Nees touched it!) I think we got a rental Stratus into the 18's before, too! Get to work!

rofl....I wear a 13 EEE can I qualify for a 2 for 1 special ?

[Michael Beard]

Oh, and since you didn't come up as a DQ for fuel.... I hope you took the cat off the Pacifica before you swapped over to race fuel!

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

man i had to look up what the heck a 2004 Pacifica was, now was it a 215 ci, 234/250 or a 250/250 combo, lol

yikes !!!!!!!

[Rich Biebel]

Pacifica?
