Default Shout out goes to........

I know this is late, but I have to give a shout out to Carlos, Tara and Leroy for all of their help with the installation of my SRT intake this past Saturday. Thanks Carlos and Tara for allowing me to use your garage and finding the instruction for the wiring diagram. And thank you Leroy for lending a hand with the install. I love the intake so far and I haven't noticed an increase of power off the line, but the mid range power from 3500rpms to 5000rpms is very noticeable. I still haven't gotten her up to speed, but my runs from 80-120 have been impressive to me. My next mod in terms of performance will be some headers, but that won't be until the summer. Thanks alot guys, I was too much of a punk to cut into my ECU, so Carlos took over.

Next week Leroy's garage: Install of new brakes so that I can stop this big boat.

Anytime you need a hand, I got you bro . I' hoping that the weather holds this weekend, so we can change your brakes. They're calling for snow/rain showers all weekend. But hey if the weather is sh!!!!y then there's always weekend after next.

That's a good one.......... She knows about the intake, I just haven't mentioned the headers yet. But since she has seen some of the mods on the cars in NELOC, she doesn't give me a hard time about a mod here and there. And actually, the intake is the second mod on my car other than re-tinting the car last summer and adding a Elemental design subwoofer and amp. But I think that I will add a "little" something else before Carlisle.

It wasn't a big deal Kwame, anytime you need a hand with the GS let me know. Glad to see your enjoying it. Sounds like I'm gonna have to get the ramps back from my buddy to do the headers.

Kwame welcome to the SRT club...lol Just joking. You know that was one of my first mods and I have been more than happy with it. Good luck with the brakes, I'm sure you guys will have no issues. Let me know when you do it. Maybe I can make another apperance since I am the NELOC ghost...lol

Kwame, Glad you are about and about. Congrats on the intake, hell it's hard to find one. But will be calling your when I get mine someday. Good look on finding headers. How's the baby? Mine is a hand full. I hope to have a get together at my place this spring. We let you and all NELOC know later. Of course bring the baby and Mrs.
