Love the pic of the unsung hero (tie wire)

I think we are the first people to ever take a computer chip to a bench grinder

Nice! I am excited to hear this in the dyno!

[DrLeadFoot]

I'm more excited to have it not break up! 3rd gear gets shot up like Tony Montana but 4th and 5th are better. 4th bucks but hauls on the freeway.

[wasnt m3]

Sounded pretty tough today!

[DrLeadFoot]

Still breaking up. 2nd works well cuz she slaps the rpms like, well you know. When it goes through the rpms meticulously she breaks.

Was nice seeing you today. Glad the car is back on the road. A new tune and the diff will make a huge difference

[DrLeadFoot]

Das diff has arrived.

Spent the afternoon replacing the 2001 cherokee's alternator, serpentine belt and battery. Oil and coolant change as well.

It really is!  Amazing car.

Chemical Brothers leather cleaner and conditioner showed up today and were put to use.  I just applied a second coat of conditioner to re-treat the dry spots.  This leather is thirsty!

The e46 is up next.  I feel that this stuff will work out great.

[DrLeadFoot]

The break up starts at 4100 rpm in 4th gear.  The AFR drops to 10.5 to 10.9.  Thoughts?  Snap?

Gonna see you down in Chicago tomorrow rain or shine?

Debating on taking the E30 or E39 depending on the weather and if the wife comes with me.

Isn't your bottom end fully built? Why not more power?

Not that those numbers aren't impressive lol
