I'll be "fashionably late."  I just have to clean up the mess I made of my garage floor, and I'll be on my way (looks like ~2 hr drive from here).  See you all there.

Thanks for coming out last weekend. 2KWK4U, CTYankee, Sunnygator and HyperViper.  In case you guys, that didn't attend, don't know it.  2kwk4u was a resource of info to me when I bought my sol because he completely tore appart his sol to document how it works.  "like tinkering with a radio, take it appart and put it back to gether again to see how it works"  Perhaps he can post a link to his slideshow.

The lunch was great.  Gave 2kwk4u a test drive of the Westers Race tune.  Finally got to see the MBRP exhaust and man it sounds great.  

We talked about a future get together and I mentioned that Chuckdoc had an idea to go to the Solomon's Museum for the Steve Miller Band concert in August.

Sounds great. I'm doing something with the New Jersey folks on August 2nd, but other than that I don't have anything planned.

Here's a link to that (unorganized and old) gallery:

Now that I'm finally back and reunited with my GXP, I can post pictures of whatever I take apart that  isn't already documented there as well.  For instance, I hacked my airbox in half the other day (split it at the seam) to see if it would make any difference sound-wise with my K&N filter.  After hearing Joe's BOV with the GMPP CAI the other day, I wanted to see if I could open up my intake to hear mine a little better.  It didn't make much difference, but I have a picture of a dissected GXP airbox and baffles in case anyone is interested...

Thanks again, Joe, for the chance to drive your car.  Once I get to the point where I can start spending real MONEY on mods again, Wester's tune is on my short list!

Lunch was great, I might have to bring the whole family next time....both my boys love crabs (snow & blue) and it is a great place.....
