Anybody know of a good tuner on Oahu? So far I know that BSM tunes and I met a guy named Trey that's supposed to have tuned some cars out here. Gonna need somebody to tune it here in a bit after I get the pulley on.

So far I haven't had a single problem since that one incident. Cars been running perfect and pulling hard. I still need to get my track attack slapped in with the 160 tstat. Wanted to do it this coming Sunday but may be going to a car meet. While I have the bumper off I'm also going to modify the brake duct

So I've had the same issue happen two more times (once intentional) since then. Finally pulled the code and its showing as a throttle position issue. I forget what the exact code is. So what I did was go through the throttle body

calibration process again as well as attempt a throttle position reset. Code cleared itself same as the two previous times. The weird thing is this only happens if I roll into it fairly hard off a stop up to half or a little more throttle. I've done several wot pulls at various speeds and even staged it for a burnout and mild test hit last week. Only time it does it is off a stop rolling in hard to half or so throttle. Will be trying it again tomorrow to see if it happens again. Anyone have any ideas of what I've done so far doesn't work? Next thing I'm thinking is just needing a tune for the ported ls7.

In better news I met with the valet company today and they admitted fault and are covering the repairs. Only thing I'm not stoked about is going through their body shop. I'm worried that they won't be able to match the color correctly. I also don't really like the idea of having them repair the damaged panel rather then replace it. Oh well, only time will tell if the shop can make it right. If not then we're back to square one and I'm going to push hard for full panel replacement.

So first off congrats to all the patriots fans on the win today. Crazy final two minutes in that game. I found out today how delicious crown royal apple and cranberry juice can be. Haha after all that was done though I wanted to get something done on the caddy. I really wanted to get the heat exchanger and 160 tstat in but decided that it wasn't worth taking a chance of not finishing. I have to drive the car Monday to take it to the body shop

so it has to be running. Luckily the valet company admitted fault and they're taking care of it. Just hope it comes out perfect. So I decided to go ahead and modify my stock airbox to reinstall it over the new era. Took a little bit but I think it came out pretty good. Looks a thousand times better then without it there.

I also got my personal plate ordered. Decided to go with "SLGISH". Hawaii is a 6 character state if you guys didn't know. Made it kind of hard to come up with something. Sluggish was actually thought up by my girl and I kinda liked it.
