 Ray came down with his Z basically un-drivable. Had some 2200cc injector issues (standard around here) I loaned him some and Mike Tweaked his tune so he could at least enjoy his car. I think it's coming back for a 1300cc injector switch before long. Ray if you read this thanks again for the kind words at the BZF ceremony we'll be happy to help anytime. 
Scott's white 744whp nitrous gt3076 1300cc e85 Z. Should make more power now with the added fuel and stiffer wg springs. Hope to get it dialed in next week. Scott got his car put back together and built our customer's engine while he was unknowingly experiencing heart failure. He had a quadruple bypass and is now doing great with the recovery process. He drove his Z to branson 1 week after he was out of the hospital. "I'm not missing out on that" he says. Was tough to see him life that but he's on his way to a full recovery. He claims building two VG30's in two weeks damn near killed him. But hey the cars are running great;)
 Held a dyno day for Branson Z Fest. Was a great turnout for the first year

Had a food truck for the event
 
I don't have many pics from the dyno day. Was a pretty busy afternoon for me. I'm sure some members may have a few more. Mike laid down 888whp just for fun at the end of the day. People loved it. He got out of it at 7200 rpm where his limiter is set but power was still climbing. Car runs so smooth. He will keep the power at about this level or less until the crower builds are complete then he'll turn it up some more.
 Took about 2500rwhp out to lunch
 Here's some pics from BZF
Fueling up on e85 for the trip
 
 
I don't have many pics from BZF. Maybe Ol borchers/ DarkZide will chime in with some:) It was a great time always love catching up with old friends and customers. Picked up a gt30 SZ built auto Z out of Dallas. Seems like a pretty fresh build just ironing out some gremlins. It was the built automatic transmission that drew me into it. A properly set up built auto sounds great right about now. Also will be experimenting with the th400 set up for my gtx3076 high compression car.
 Stopped off at Mike's to tinker with it. Really needs a better tune so I left it at his shop. Has some wiring gremlins and he's been working through those for me as well. We really want to play with the built auto!
 Cleaned out my drive-thru. For the first time in years I've been able to use my garage. Took all the tools and BS to the shop so I can enjoy pulling into a clean garage like some normal humans out there do.
 There's more but that's it for now folks. Thanks for looking Jon
