What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

OMG, I'm going to drive my SHO today -- it's been a week since I got behind the wheel. I'm having too much fun with my race car. LMAO

OMG that race car has got to run low 12's maybe high 11's.  Your SHO must feel so slow...  Wanker.  I mean wankel.  Lol :).

Got the fuel system working last night and quickly got the car road tuned.  The new tires made a huge difference with traction in first and the car feels awesome!  Looking good for some runs at the track. Funny thing though, after two good pulls the car uses the throttle body to stop boost, you have to turn the car off to get it to boost again. ...

Speaking of boost......

I received official notification from Fedex yesterday, that my new upgraded +2 Turbos have been shipped from ATP and are enroute to me!

Woo Hoo! (Where's the potty dance emo?)

I will try to arrange install for next week, as it hinges on their arrival (from Cali) versus availability on my friend's end at his shop.

I owe a lot of thanks, to a lot of people.

Primarily 4DR, and Darrell as well..... thanks gentlemen :bow:

Tell your dentist to step on the gas, BPD!  Get well soon.

Thanks man..... it was pretty scary, I won't kid you.

No fault of the oral surgeon's though.... just the infection began to spread like wildfire, causing me to go into the ER for immediate treatment.

Long story short, I went to a Level 1 Trauma Center and they rushed me in. No joke, from the moment I walked in the door, they had me in a room and on an I.V. in less than 40min total.

A raging massive infection, nearing one's respiratory and cardiac areas is nothing to mess with so I've been told repeatedly by their medical staff.

But so far it's going better, and I got released form the hospital late Thursday after being doped on Steroids, High Dose Antibiotics, and Morhpine.

As of now, my surgery's been rescheduled to this coming Monday.

So hopefully i'll be able to put this latest bump in my life's road behind me, and I can get onto better things, like making my SHO go crazy fast by installing these ATP turbos.

I'm not sure if I'll tune it as aggressively as 4DR is though..... well at least not initially.

Muahahahahahahahahaha.......  >:D
 
I finally dug out my sockets so I could disconnect the battery.  The dang TPMS light still came on!  Gonna just live with it.  Then, I took a little test ride.  Today, maybe due to resetting the computer, I was only boosting just over 12 on the Torque.  Got just over 14 last time.  I'm still doing 0-60 MPH in 5.1 seconds.  Torque has proven to be a little erratic.  So, anyway, I decided to reload my 4+ tune.  I'll see if it settles in after a few days.   
 
Got the springs shocks and struts installed today that firstsho sold me. Thanks again! Good thing I got the shocks too I had a blown one.

Just rolled over 40k. I was damn surprised. Bilsteins and a Hotchkis rear sway bar would make me a super happy camper.

Gapped my spark plugs to .030 a few weeks ago and actually noticed a difference.  I really didn't expect to notice anything.  They were originally anywhere from .036 to .033.  I was having some minor hesitation or shutter at WOT on high RPM before.  It wasn't bad, but I could feel it.  I have absolutely no hesitation now and acceleration is much smoother.
