Good job! I should give you my number, I was basically just putsing around Blaine yesterday nothing to do, I coulda came and gave you a hand.
Yes a fairly stock $30k Vette won't be as fast as your car. But there is something to be said about a 400hp vette that you just put the key in and drive and enjoy every single day, vs. a 600hp DSM that could definately wax it any day of the week, as long as it's actually running (and running well) that week...
Its easy for us to say ditch it because we don't have all the $$$ and sweat into it that you do. Good luck with whatever you choose! I think you are going to end up disappointed if you think that you're going to be issue free for the next 30k miles...

Glad to see its drivable again. Hope it makes it the rest of the year without anymore problems.

Yep, thats the plan. Bringing some Corona to enjoy for Cinco de Mayo. Just going to sit back and relax and watch some cars :)

I hear you. And trust me, after driving the corvette on the cruise I am starting to have a huge appreciation for the whole stockish car feeling again.
I don't think I will be issue free at all for 30k, lol. What I meant was, I don't think my motor will have to be pulled for 30k, at least I don't think it should have to. Everything this year doesn't really bother me as its not too costly to fix. I just don't want to have another 10k motor build!
It's working now, I drove it to work and am happy about it. Time to wash it and drive it while I can :)

GoPro hero2 comes today!
I so badly wanted to not buy it as there are other car mods to buy yet and money for fixing shit lol, but I needed one at some point.
I'll get some test vids up later.

Well I was busy last night doing logging and forgot the gopro needed to be charged, I will try and test it out tonight for fun.
I came to a realization though, I know why tuners hate DW injectors!!!! Because they suck to tune lol.
I am on revision 8 now for scaling/latencies and have done ~45 minutes of logging for each, that is over 5 hours of scaling lol. Still not dialed in yet. Ugh. I remember why I pay people for this shit, but I am learning a lot. I will get my trims under +/- 5% yet! The best I have seen so far on these is +/- 8%.
