Anybody doing stuff for/with their father's this weekend?
I'm ok. Transferring contacts from my old phone to my new one. Still trying to get everybody to switch my number in their contacts list to the new one so I can cancel the old phone plan.

My A/C is on too. I could never live without it!
Although we have a pool, I need my A/C!!!

I love the pool at my complex, but our hot tub is so overly chlorinated, it almost hurts to breathe!

Aren't you going F/I? You might want to wait til you finish your build, then get a custom grind cam and have it all dialed in on the dyno. Damn, that'll be a monster.
I'm still entertaining F/I. I want it, but then I tell myself that I don't need it and there are more important things I could drop 8k on. I still have a couple months to decide. I'm just trying to research other avenues in case I decide not to go F/I.

This is the Cam package I'm looking at.

You'd be making about the same power as someone with a Maggie and the canned tune without headers. "All Motor" does sound pretty nice

That cam probably isn't optimal for F/I though, I'd hate to see you have to do it twice. Then again, you could sell that cam and recoup a bit of your money. What's that package run? 4k?

It's $4,500 and it's OK for a DD too. I wouldn't want to do it twice too which is why I'm entertaining various options. I'm also thinking about getting rid of my shorties and going with the LT. I figure I have a few years before I have to worry about getting it smogged and I'm sure I can find someone by then who will do it and pass it.

There's a couple of cars in the socal family with LTs. Braver men than me! I really don't see much track time, I mostly destroy PCH on the weekends, so for me I don't mind shorties for the peace of mind.

And not that this ever happened, because it didn't. But the last time I paid someone to "pass" my ranchero, it was 300 bones. I can only imagine that's gone up.
