Sounds good, I would like to meet up with some other EVO owners around the area. I know you told me before, but how many other EVO's are there around this immediate area?
I know of you (BBY), Some older guy out near where i work (BBY), fairly new black one with new dealership tags about a month ago, and I heard of one other black one and saw a red one. I dont know any of these people nor have i talked to them.

I will pm you my number as well ands let me know if you guys get together.

Ya Mustang dyno at Matrix Engineering in Portland Oregon. That was with only a couple small changes to the AEM from my last dyno. We found that the VE of the engine changed a huge amount. So basically we are going to start from scratch with the tune but i was in a hurry and just wanted to make sure things were safe so i pulled out 3 dyno pulls. I will be taking it back within a month or so to have them fine tune everything and see what we can get out of it.

you could always paint those front vents black... maybe it would make them not stand out as much.

Deffinitly a nice hood though

Yeah, I have to admit. It's all great except those front vents. I really don't like them either. Plus, I don't think they're really functional...actually the reverse. Seems like they'd cause some air flow to go straight from the front vents out the top vent, decreasing flow through the deeper engine compartment from the bumper vents. It's a little bit Trans-Am...but really, overall, who cares...the car is awsome.
