i know.. seriously...

I love when people come into the forum and say.. Hey.. whats better?

OP.. Here's a few details for you.

I recently was hit in the head rather hard, so my telepathy currently isn't working
My crystal ball is in the shop for repairs
My dog chewed up my Tarot cards
And my Ouija board told me to go F' myself.


So hows about you tell us the h/c/i combo you are running on your engine, injector or cab size, method of tuning... etc etc etc
