I was jus playin w the thread, but I DO want to go to cali, not only cause of the cool car scenes, but I want a lifestyle maybe cali can nurture.
I just got the cars timing advanced at 21 now! no pinging. the car runs awesome. I took out the pass seat and hatch stuff and back seats.
A 3.55 gear will make this car FAST.
Well hey, if you're ever out this way shoot me PM. Always nice to talk to like minded people.

Anyways, I droped it down to 17*, I think it runs better there. It was serging a bit at idle and I think I heard a ping or two.
I got on it in first and my car is so FAST that it ripped a rib off the serpentine belt and it wrapped arund the fan. HOLY $%*!
What times have you ran at the track? Your base timing seemed awful high so good thing that you lowered it because I don't think it was goin to run any better jmo.

If its Fast and reliable, it ain't cheap.

If you like your 3.55's then hit me up when you get to Cali, I'll give you a taste of my 4.10's in a 5 speed. Gears are great but mine are wearing out on me. (not the gear itself, but the adrenaline on take off)
Open your exhaust up, do a FULL intake, and enjoy.
Cali is just like it was stated earlier. We got some retarted imports and some crazy fast cars out here. Just like anywhere else in this country. Do what you can when you can afford it and hit us all up if you ever come out here. Just be safe and dont kill yourself in the meantime. Have fun with it and dont waste money on BS mods keep it simple. get her running good and spray, boost or do the right thing with a H/C/I combo!! Then spray it when its built. Of course money gets in the way of doing it right the first time.
