If you are in the WNC area, go to Blue Ridge Motorsports in Morganton for the install. (82
433-4545, talk to either Brandon or Mike, and they'll set you up. I'll roll down when they have your car together and sorted and throw the tune on it. My schedule is a bit wierd due to school + work + kid, so you have to plan ahead if you want me on tap without a hitch.
Master Jack at P1 in Charlotte also does very good work, I've seen a couple really nice cars he's touched. If you find yourself out that way, tell him I'm coming down to find him and buy him lunch at some point.
If you are in the Raleigh area I'm due down there on Spring Break to knock out a couple of people's cars that they don't want JDogg touching. Frankly, everyone I've talked to who knows anything has said that JDogg's gained a good bit of skill in the past several years, but he did learn at other people's expense. It's more of a moral issue than an ability issue if you are considering him, but I still question his basic abilities since he's got a degree in business and is light on the physics classes and engineering background required to understand what goes on in a combustion chamber. I call it Mase Syndrome, where you use a few guidelines and rules of thumb very much akin to secretarial work/filing/using a ------sheet... they can make the power if everything goes without a hitch, but they can't troubleshoot the ride when something goes awry.
East coast, ugh, I dunno? Is Thackston still in the game?

Mapquest 28801, the Heart of ashEVILle. Drop by any weekend; ashEVILle is one of the best places in the world to eat breakfast, whether it's smashing a regular old fashion stack of pancakes or fine ------- early morning dining on some gourmet concoction the food is top notch. Whether or not I have anything to show you to impress you, well, I doubt it.
What I have right now is a pile of semi-assembled parts I hope to make run over the winter break, and a handful of boys with cars in various states. As in, one is running, six broken piles of ----.
Only one that's running right now is Goforth's CRX, 24 psi netted 393 whp @ 7300-9500 because ignition was breaking up and she just misfired past that point, but it's moot since the car spins 24.5's the whole way down the 1/8th at the 350 whp level. We installed some limiters/stops on the front suspension to keep the nose down and will have it at Shadyside in Boilling Springs, NC, on Sunday. Previous best of 7.15@107.8, hoping it breaks into the 6's, but cars are about as reliable as women so who really knows.
