    I have a car craft subscription look forward to seeing that issue even more now!

    Took my car for a push around the block, then mowed and pushed it around again and parked it.

    Good luck this weekend, and just remember to have FUN!..............don't be overly concerned about ET or reaction time..............look at this as test and tune and make sure you keep a writen log of any changes you make.
    Let us know how it goes.
