I know, I said I was done; but I had Berk HFC's installed a couple of weeks ago.
Now I need to dyno tuned.
Maybe I'll stop after this (yeah, right)

An incredible experience to watch.
Went up to Hills Garage around Baltimore to get dyno tuned. Frank and Frank did an awesome job.
Since it was such a beautiful day, they decided to roll the dyno outside (you can do that?)

My first pull was around 285hp; but frank said the chip was in economy mode and it really didn't count.
After 2 more pulls, he said he was up around 295 - better.
After 12 more pulls, he called it quits. 318hp with 265ft-lbs of torque!!! Way to go Frank!!!

But it was incredible to watch Frank wind my car up through 4th gear, up to almost 8,000 rpm's, and 130mph on the dyno speedometer.

Note to self: stop babying the car - it can take it!!

While I was there, I met a guy named Chris. Chris drives a beautiful red 350. Twin Turbo. At 8 lbs of pressure, he puts down about 460hp!!!

So much for me being impressed with my 318!!

I never have been fully satisfied with the replacement stick shift knob that I put on, so I decided to swap it out - again.
I like this one MUCH more!!

The new one (a Stainless M1 Abrams from TWM Performance) looks better, is lower, and has a little bit of a shorter shift.
