Engine hoist has been dissembled and is ready to go!!!
If you want it at your place earlier Andy give me a call on my cell, I left it in that e-mail I sent you for direction earlier.

Its cool. No big rush. I plan to get started with some minor stuff Friday night. Prolly pull the axles, remove the im, pull out the alternator, remove the harness. All that will really leave is the exhaust bolts and mount bolts. Shouldn't take us long at all. Justin made a good point, though, I may just pull the exhaust mani and turbo out with the engine so I don't have to hack up that brand new radiator support.

For now, my main concern is reliability and tuning conservative enough to protect my engine, then Ill dyno tune it to dial it in more when Im at that point. Regardless, your guys experience with KPro is valuable to me, so count me in......IT GETS HERE TOMORROW!!

I'll probably come up there, then have to leave and come back. The gf's car needs new tires, so I'm gonna run it down to Edwin's house of tires and get that taken care of.
I have nothing to do to either car because I have no parts, so I'll be there in my lawn chair hanging out.
Andy... I assume the BBQ grill has gas in it right? Cuz it would suck to get a bunch of burgers and have none.
I figure burgers and dogs, some chips, buns, ketchup, mustard, soda..... and beer for everyone but George.

damn, im really late on this thread. too bad i work. the party should be at my shop FTW. Kpro pwns everyone, unless you have really weird temperature compensation problems that dont let your car start when the block is below freezing and the incoming air is warm.. who is up for an after party? getting drunk later? DC? strip club? bar hopping?

i think it would be easier if we all just bought cash and then when it gets close to the time to eat, we all go grab some from a giant or safeway or something. that way we get an accurate amount.
