Kenny/Albert,

I discovered that my HD sink drains actually vent to the intakes-so I added 2x K&N filters. Don't know if it added any HP but the placebo affect is great!

awesome, is it the active autowerks set up or factory ducts, as for me I'm foolishly concerned about lift, ducting air into front end rather than around would exacerbate that. but then again i worry about those carbon hoods and wonder how the vents affect aerodynamics
I think it would be really cool if we could set up a meet at the water tower parking garage, all indoor climate controlled shopping for the wimmenz and a food court....I know never would happen but it would be unusual, have any of you ever heard of these impromptu car meets at a shopping ctr parking lot sun AM, thought I read about it in autoweek or somewhere. I'm really bummed about missing this meet...hey any chance of setting a rain date just in case

Sounds good, I should be there pending I get my thermostat fixed before then I don't want to drive around to much longer without getting that fixed. Hopefully see you all Chins.

There may still be a few folks out there who haven't visited the board for a while and may not know about the meet yet.

Or, perhaps there are lurkers who have not signed in an replied yet.

Here is to hoping the weather holds up.
