    start injector time switch needed?

    You know I had thought of that as we have all of the sensors at the shop for LABview and we are not using them. Might be a fun mod. Then again Im sure someone on here will be selling a thermostat housing with all this stuff on it soon. V

    Supra wins on "Pinks" reminder Show time-

    How sad is it that the race was a complete scam also... Not only did we get scammed the guys on the show were scammed by the AMC crew. That car was totally outclassed and they should not have been matched up. They sat the mustang out lengths and the AMC sucked them up off the line and then...
