Wednesday and Thursday of last week I took my car to New Era Performance to have some work done. The throttle body was ported, and my WCC bolts and Bilstein shocks were installed. After that was completed the car was dyno tuned, and it was in desperate need of a good tune. The result of all this work was a great looking, handling, performing car. It turns out the last shop to tune it did a very poor job and I am glad I am not running their tune anymore. The dyno tuning resulted in 374 rwhp and 366 rwtq. A link to the dyno video is below…

Also the gallery has been disabled, I need to fix a few things and it will be up later this week. Once I also upgrade to vimeo pro I will post some new videos, until then I will have to wait until Tuesday to show my buddy destroying some tires in his GTO.

So far this weekend has been great! I solved my electrical issues with my Z06 and even installed all the parts I needed to. Also I switched frankkumro.com to a new host ( asmallorange ) and the speed difference is amazing 
I do have some tighter storage restrictions but until I get to 90% of the disk I wont worry about it.

So it would be my luck that 1 week from going into the shop, and ~2-3 weeks from the rental my car would throw a fit. I believe a short exists some where in the car. When I hit a bump both doors lock, and the driver side door controls don’t always work. I am also receiving errors about servicing the traction system and abs which are all new. This weekend I will be looking for shorts in the driver side door, testing the battery, and then cleaning/checking the grounds for the car. Two bottles of BG44K (to fix gas tank issues) are on the way to my house, and I ordered the jacking pucks from LG so I can repair my front tire. Also I found a small puddle of brake fluid on the ground under my car. Now I need to inspect the master/slave cylinders and front driver side brake components for leaks.
Overall:

My dog of 14 years has passed in her sleep last night. She was battling cancer for some time now, I am just glad she was at home when she passed away.

If your driving through a parking lot normally you avoid the poles that have the hanicap signs on them. Well this driver decided to try their luck with running one down, and lost.

Today at work I was getting some poptarts from the vending machines and noticed something new. On the actual poptart is Nascar material, printed on top of the frosting. This is some interesting advertising, first time I have seen something like it.

The May 2009 Volume 3 No. 5 edition of Vette magazine shows a nice picture of my car in The Fast Lane section. I won that spot for May and it was due to a 1/4 mile time of 11.94 @ 117.95mph with the following modifications.
- BPP Vortex Intake
- Vette Doctors Dump in tune ( Carlisle 08 )
- Fastbird Perf. Line Locks
- MGW Shifter
Patrick ( owner of digitalcorvettes.com ) scanned the magazine section and posted it here. I also scanned the same section and posted it in my gallery here. It’s very cool to finally be in a magazine
