I'm glad I was there and able to meet the other Kappa Owners. I Drove 650 miles and Didn't get anything Fixed.   There just wasn't enough time for my PT.   :poke:    Although I did buy a few things to install on my Solstice when I get home . I was able to put an Led light in my PT.  The Weather was Great as was the Hotel . I even forgot my Sons Birthday 10/23/2010. who turned "33" . Now it time to go back to MD.     :banghead:    :kwh:

What a great time! Thanks DDM et al. Didn't finish my car until 3am this morning. Got the new ported head and stage 3 upgrade installed. Slept a couple hours and I was back on the road down to GA by 7:45. Dave, Ivy, Randy, Wendell, Kim (AKA 12 year old or was it 16? LOL!), Rachel, and Mike: thanks again SOOOO much for all of your time and effort to get me all finished up! This is why you guys will continue to earn my business. Dave and Randy had me up on the dyno in the weee morning hours tweeking the tune. Best numbers I think were 312WHP and 336ft-lbs of torque. On average i was hovering just under 300WHP; 315torque as expected with heat soak according to them. First S/C over 300 Dave says. WOOT, WOOT!
It was great meeting all the new folks and seeing the others I've met before! Dave's parents were very nice. Happy Birthday, Dave while i'm at it. Sorry, I started off your birthday with a late night/ early morning install. The drive home was great! Very noticeable difference in power!!! I can feel the dip in the graph we saw around 3200RPMs through most gears when I'm climbing slow. Not noticed when hammering it down. I know you guys still have some tweeking you can do to the tune. Nonetheless, this thing is a bigger beast. I'm sure Dave and or Randy will post the dyno graph sometime?

Oh yeah it is. Missed meeting you and Joe there. I'm sure it would have been that much more fun. We were missing a supervisor while we were setting up tents and such and for some reason your name kept coming up. I wonder why? HA!
