One good thing happened just yesterday, though. The CGC test I took was scored wrong! I did pass one of the three sections, so I only have to back to do 15hrs in stead of 20!

Check out the 660 thread for updates on the purchases for the car.

My mom is a GC here in Palm Beach... What company do you work for? I also work for an AC contractor... We used to be called Air Repair of South Florida now we are Whale'n Air.

I'm self employed and do homeowner's insurance claims. My father and I are buss. partners and pretty much handle the entire job. I'm hands-on with one employee. I was a shell (concrete construction) contractor in Bradenton Fl. from 1998 to 2001.
.
I passed the Project Management section of the test.Need to re-take the Business/Law and Contract Administration sections.
Hardly opened any books for the project management, studied the buss./law - go figure...
I'm pretty sure I'll make it Wed, but the rest of my parts are going to be here/finished by next week...
I can smell the race fuel in my boosted 'Bird already!

Damn! I got my car back from the tranny shop, and it leaks more now than it did when I brought it there... It runs strong as hell though. Gotta bring it back to them first thing monday morning. The ole' lady says that I can't go to moroso because I got bills, but we'll see about that.
i feel ya on the money issue. im broke as hell to. cant wait to get back and drive my car again and chill with everyone. you still do the car meet at sonics?
hey john. Im goin to moroso this wednesday. I think I am going a little bit early though. Give me a call. Curious.... Do you have a factory battery? If so, did it pass tech inspections? Hit me up

Factory battery, they didn't say anything for the sportsman class. I'm probably going, just can't seem to get the bug out the 'bird after the 1.7roller rocker and 24# injector upgrade . The code 33 keeps showing up with no vac leaks, just might be low vacuum with the high lift?! Don't know if the code will cause my performance to dwindle (what little there is already, lol) but I don't want to drive all the way up there to break something (even though I have AAA, haha).
1.7?!?! 24#?!?! Damn! You must be getting ready for that turbo!!! Can you tell a difference in the "butt" dyno? Hoping that I run low 14s. That would be awesome. I don't know how I am going to launch or if I should ratchet shift it with the B&M. I don't know. Well if you are gonna come up. hit me up on the nextel or something. I have you in my phone.
Yeah, she's runnig tits tonight! Test and tune will be nice, cause I really will be tuning, lol. Don't have the mix perfect yet, but getting there. Yes some better response, I felt myself moving much further back in the seat on my test drive today. Crane claims the 1.6 gives a 30% power increase, don't know for the 1.7's. I doubt that's true, but we will see tom. Just hope it doesn't rain this week. Although I still have my ticket from 2 weeks ago and I was there for the announcement for a rain check, so I should get in free. Probably be there around 9pm (kids in bed at 8).
.
EDIT : I'm hoping for high/mid 16's. lmao
That sucks! Rained out Again!!! I can't really go on fridays because of my second job but i really would like to go next wednesday. who knows. Sunday the 4th is Hot Rod sunday so I might just go to that and test and tune. we'll see.
i'm not sure if rockers add 30%, i allways thought it was they added 30 thousandths more lift. but even then i've seen it more than that and sometimes a little less.
ex. .320 lobe lift:
1.5 = .480
1.6 = .512
1.7 = .544
(above based on a correct installed height spring, pushrod length, etc...)
just .2 , i wouldnt want anyone banking on a 30% false sense of hope thats all good sir. on a 250hp motor, that would be a 75hp gain.... if thats the case i would put rockers on my peanut cammed '91ta and call it a day

No, I don't believe it either (I was mistaken, 30hp not 30%, but I still don't believe it).
Here's what the AD stated...
.
. COMP Cams® Magnum Roller Rockers™ are the ultimate street rocker. That’s because they were designed with the serious performance enthusiast in mind. They will help your engine make more power and last longer. Magnum Roller Rocker Arms™ are: STRONG Magnum Roller Rocker Arms™ are made from 8620 chromemoly steel. This makes them stronger than die cast aluminum or stamped steel rockers. This superior material, along with the Magnum’s super stiff design, assures maximum lift because this rocker arm will not flex. ACCURATE You can’t get maximum horsepower from your engine if your rocker ratio is off. We checked other rockers and found rockers that were as much as .040” short on lift. The Magnum Rockers™ are super Accurate. They check dead on every time. POWERFUL The Magnum Roller Rockers™ can make between 15 and 30 horsepower over other rockers! Why? The secret is that not only does the roller tip reduce friction, the Magnum Rockers™ incredibly stiff design and super accurate ratios yield more effective valve lift. DURABLE The roller tip design reduces friction by not scrubbing the valve end or pushing the valve stem hard against the valve guide. This in conjunction with super strong design of the rocker makes for a simple, bulletproof, and cost effective combination.
Orlando Speed World tonight great cold weather lets see if anyone can break their best times ill be be out there. hopefully will some people. Later Daniel

Kinda hard to drive a beltless car on the street... them batteries eventually do go dead even though Im running 2. I will probably go.... napa has a coupon that lets you get in to watch for 5$.
Yea, my shop built the engine, theyre gonna take care of it just gotta let them know. Heck, when the engine tweaked them valves they took care of it no problem.
I think its the manifold or the head gasket.
South Florida ( coral springs ) i got a 90 firebird soon to be a 350 STREET BEAST ( wish i could get a tranny though ) i got my little stock 3.1 that is DIEING. lol
you hang out any where i dont think i have seen you around. i dont know maybe we should start that sonic meet back up and see what happens. Is anybody around central florida up for it! Later Daniel
