Good luck Chris, just wondering but haven't you joined the military? If so when do you go to boot?

Thanks guys. Well tomorrow's trip is going to be real fun . We just got off the phone with Factor X and apparently they cannot access the dyno until the evening time. Now we're setback from leaving at 6a.m. to 1p.m. We're gonna arrive in Vegas around 4-5ish, get something to eat and head off to the dyno. Give some several hours on the dyno then we leave deep in the nighttime. The day after that, I have work at 7a.m.

Andrew: I'm going to be racing the 25th/26th this month at Pomona. It's going to be a good event because all the big boys are coming out to play.

Chris: Unfortunately I had to pull out because I have a problematic right knee that ruined my chances of becoming a Ranger. I need to get surgery soon and they are still offering me to go if I everything is alright.

I fucking knew bullshit was going to happen.....

So I'm changing my injectors out, and I look inside the injector holes on the intake manifold. I see something weird, take my light on it and see some type of "ring". I get my magnet out, and I hear something grab onto the end. Low and behold, it's a fucking ARP head stud bolt. God only knows how the hell it got there, and I'm wondering why the hell my motor's not fucked at this point. Right now, I wish I had a bendable magnet so I can throw the fucker on the plenum side and get it out from the throttle body opening. Looks like that's not going to happen. My only option right now is to pull the whole fucking intake manifold off and get that fucker out. Thus, if I don't luck out on not ripping the intake manifold gasket, I have to get one tomorrow.

I'm fucking tired of this shit.

Well I managed to get the bolt out. But now I ran into yet another problem, my fuel injectors. Apparently they're too big to fit in the fuel rail so I'm going to have to bore my Vortech rail out today. I don't think I'm going to dyno tonite.....maybe during this week if the guy can.
