Received my new rev-n-nator ECU. Finally installed it. Had to reset my timing, and set the rev limit. I showed a gain of a ten of a second and 1 MPH down the track today. Best time today was a 11.66@116 MPH. Also had 2 runs at 11.67@116 MPH. So I would say the Rev-n-nator worked in my car. Even...

My son took his car to get inspected, the guy doing the inspection was going to put a inspection sticker on the car but his manager would not let him. He said the D.O.T. ET Street radials are not legal. Do you believe this. I will never go to them again.

I got my self a 2010 power wagon! Talk about a nice truck with a 383 HP and 400 FT LBS of torque. This truck reminds me of the old 66-70 power wagons. The power is great in low range with the lockers in.

Does anyone have a new Challanger and do you think its worth buying for $45K. I am not sure if I like them. I was going to buy a used Viper, then I thought to just get an SRT8 Challanger. Not to happy with them.
