True. And the plan is to pick up that set of three we spoke about when the time comes. I'll need someone to take my wheels, calipers, and valve cover off of my car in order for Carlos to work his magic.

It looks like I won't get a chance to see you before I head west. I leave on the 18th as my start date at the new job is 25JAN. Take care, my friend. Hurry up and get well so that you can get that E85 tune and have some real fun.

So will you be back in the summer time? I might be visiting by then. Although at this point I might be the last person to ride in the mamba after our last outing.

Brother, you are always good for a ride in the Mamba. She's going to be another monster with the 2.3L on E85. More to follow...

Hope everything goes ok and your recovery process is quick and painless. Let me know if you need anything.

Does this mean you are done and out of the Army? I am trailing behind, I should be out soon also. Good luck at the new job and it was fun hanging out with you.

Thanks all for the input... Still up in the air, I do agree that they are kinda cheap looking. Sort of Ricer ish. I'm not one who wants 20 gauges in the car like i'm a freakin pilot or anything just the basic ones that any boosted ride should have. Looking at the STRI gauges and they dont really do anything for me, and they dont come in Blue... May just fork over 5+ bills and go with the Colt series, they look pretty good and I read some reviews... Still debating and it will be another 2 months til i order them so they can get there around the time I get back.
PM me if anyone is selling a turbo and or FMIC, or any parts for that matter really.

Now you dont have to wake up at 0500 to hit the road by 0600 like you would here in TX.

If Im not mistaken Stri gauges can change a multiple of colors, those were the ones I was going to get while I was at AMS the last time. I have a new in box Kelford 272 intake cam.

Congratulation on getting out, I will very soon hang up the boots also, I cant wait for that day. 10 years of military service is coming to an end.

Man you ain't kidding. I can wake up at 0700 and roll out by 0730. That will be a first for me. I told you I would give you 20 bucks for that cam. LOL

Got HKS 272's already...
I cant find any SRTI gauges that do multi change, just amber and white. If you got a link shoot it to me tho.

Maybe I mistaken them for the Prosports, cause the Stri white ones look a bit blue when there on. I like the Stri amber set cause they match the Evo interior almost perfect. AMS has a variety in there show room so i could be mistaken, if I find a set I will be sure to let you know right away.

Prosports are very good and are being used by many, they are not made of cheap quality. If I didnt get the Defi I would of gotten the Prosport.
