Where did I go wrong? Other than being a cheap ***

Well you know I have a hard time cyber spending people's money that's why I suggested on the budget he talked about some headers and just some weight loss and some more time at the track just getting used to the car. I went out on a little bit of a limb as he says he's a mechanic, and I would think that tune up would be the ABCs of what he can do. I'd like a little feedback from the original poster before we make any more suggestions.
Everybody knows how things get on this forum if the original poster doesn't jump back in here and give us some more feedback by the end of the day we'll be talking about the Kung Fu marathon on TV.....
