Re: We are expanding :)
Ya I'm part of the 2nd wave, also a part of the 2nd hand shopper. I've probably bought 1/4 of shanes parts off his car over the years. Starting with his 20G and Greddy Small FMIC back in 1999 when I bought my 1996 GS-T.
John and Josh have been helping tune my cars ever since. Shanes always been the man on the dyno for me and typically has always found more power then our street tuning ever did. But then again I never went up there with the exact settings the LSE boys put together for me. Same with Shanes tuning I'd say the actual dyno tuning on my car last's about a day. I'm always messing with it. But that's just me. I try to learn as much as I can through watching what they were all doing while tuning my car. Then messed with it on my own, That's actually how I learned how to work on my car as well. I watch and then try it myself. But for me it's important to get that initial tune that way I have a good platform to start with.
I always saved the settings before I start messing around that way I can always revert back if needed. I'm by for no expert on tuning, hell I couldn't even tell you the theory about any of it. I just know a little. Kind of like playing a piano for me. Never taken lessons but I can still play a few songs from watching others play them.
Anyrate I can vouch for the red rock thing I know shanes, hill, have a few years on us. But there were plenty of times in my early years that Nash, myself and the LSE boys would hang out at Red Rock or DCTC from 8pm-6am.
I'm mean come on I know most of you have seen all the really stupid street video's I made in my early DSM years. I made every one that ever came over to my house watch them. Hell I probably made them watching every time they came over hehehe.
Anyways enough rambling about memories. Like my wife says stop talking about the past and make some new memories/story's that you can tell. Look forward to making some new ones once I get my car back up to Tech. I've got everything I need now. Just have to put it together this weekend. I still have 1/2 tank of 116oct to go out and tune.
I've been seeing a sweet as 03/04 Saleen that keeps crusing by my work Hopefully I'll catch him one of these days and get it on tape. I also now have 2x 03/04 cobras in my complex that I can't wait to beat on.
