I can't wait to see the video of you after your success. Anyone ever see a big dude in the military wet himself? I think you'll see a hat in front of BJ's nads.

Hey ... give him some slack man ... its not like you have an extreme amount of money tied up in your engine. If you had a lot of money tied up, and i mean like 2-3k or more, invested would you want to do something "half-ass" and risk blowing up the motor ... or would you rather take your time and make sure everything is running perfectly so you can drop the hammer and pretty much know that everything will be good.

Wow dude, relax. It's not your car, engine, time or money that will go down the tubes if something is wrong.
Wise move on BJ's part if he's not sure. Keep us updated.

yeah, I could have gone.....and probably towed it home. Sorry about that guys.
Here's all the details and problems that caused me to call it off:
Wednesday morning, I dropped the car off at a local performance shop because there were some things that needed finalizing and I wouldn't have time to work on it. 5 little things and one big thing. They had all day thursday to get it handled, but apparently they were too busy and didn't get any of it done then. Thursday night I discovered I would have to spend all day Friday wrenching instead of tuning, and I had taken the day off Friday just to tune and hit the track.
With no time left to tune, I wouldn't risk trying to make a run. Boosted setups are very finicky, and there is too much time and effort invested to blow it to pieces.
Next open night is possibly the 29th. I'll make sure it's ready well in advance.

You son of a....
No, it's ok man. There's absolutely no need to rush anything. I wouldn't want you to make any runs without being 100% sure it'll run well and not destroy itself. It's good to take your time and double and triple check things before going all out. It's only March, you have all summer to put up 11 second passes.
Besides, I hate seeing videos of quarter miles passes where the description says "This is my run, but it wasn't making full boost, and it still needs a better tune, and I couldn't get traction because it was so cold out and I'm still on snow tires , and I missed a gear, and my seats were uncomfortable.... But imagine how fast I would've been if it ran perfect!!!"

I don't think [ion] was serious, it was just some good old e-sarcasm
