RE: Houston Discussion Thread
Well were going to port the Eaton roots blower then feed it with twin turbo's. We're going to spray the whole thing more to lower charge air temps then anything else.
Where we sit right now (with existing HP)we think we have a low 10 second car once we work all the kinks out. However, it is a process. It takes a lot of testing and tuning. Remember when I say low 10's I'm talking about a car in full street trim spare tire, Sub, etc.
In regards to the turbo's they are being mocked up right now by a company and as soon as they are done we will be the rolling test bed for the compound boost system they are developing.
Should be interesting!

That's crazy, so your set-up is going to be a twin-screw with turbos? Is the turbo system
similar to the ones used on the Vettes piped after the exhaust at the rear of the car?
I still haven't installed my BBK CAI/SCT Tuner yet and I already want a Saleen Supercharger
or Hellion Turbo setup from Brenspeed.

Well we fixed the rear end of the car yesterday. Looks like the Launches on friday killed the LCA bushings. Split them clean in two.

Eric, sorry I didn't get back with you earlier this week, but we got the move done.
It went pretty smoothly actually. Just time consuming, as usual. Now I'm stealing wi-fi from some neighbor until I get U-Verse installed tomorrow. I should be sleeping, but strange place...can't sleep yet.

Used the free car wash here today. It's not bad. The wand really could use more water pressure though. And for some reason or another, they have it prevented from doing a 360. So you can't just circle the car. You have to eventually go back the way you came. Oh well, still free.

RE: Houston Discussion Thread
What I did is
1. used the wi-spy Spectrum analyzer to see the activity on the 2.4 band
2. got 2 9DBi antennas for the 2.4 side of my AP
3. with the info I gathered I set it to CH1 as it was least affected by the microwave
4. then secured it with WPA2 and non-broadcasting ssid
so it covers the biggest range it can and no one can see in or if they somehow knew it was there can't access it

Honestly, I rarely break out my work laptop while I'm at home, and now that my desktop is revived (had to give it CPR after the move) I doubt I'll use it again unless I need to. I honestly can't stand laptops.
...and I'm using WPA2, with a very strong passphrase.
