The message board software has been upgraded to the latest revision. This new version includes some nice new features as well as some bug fixes.

Some of the new features include:

  • A new Online/Mood indicator (change your mood by clicking the upper right corner smilie icon)
  • New Active Topics preview by just hovering your cursor over the topic
  • New Post and New Reply numbers shown in red on the category and forum list pages.
  • URLs are now properly shown in the shout box without that pesky <wbr> showing up.

Please ensure you have all the proper setting with this new software version by navigating to "My Stuff", then "My Preferences". Review the settings, then click submit (even if you don't change anything). This will ensure your profile is properly updated.

As always, please report any bugs or quirky behavior with the software.

We also have a new Featured SS. This time, it belongs to Mike, ProTourAero here on the board. Great looking ride Mike!

WOW that was quite a nice surprise today!
Thanks for all the kind words guys, it is all much appreciated, and an honor.
I currently have the engine & trans out, along with the front fascia & radiator support for some "off season" reworking.
I have the engine apart for a freshen up, and a new cam & valve train. I am going to lighten up the valve train with titanium intake valves & hollow stem stainless exhaust valves. I also have the Comp cams beehive springs & retainers and their new "Pro Magnum" hyd roller lifters. I am hoping to extend the RPM range of the engine, but still keeping it street friendly. It would be all too easy to put a large mech roller in!
I also sent the intake to Wilson manifolds for a little tune up!
I am also lightening up the front end with an aluminum core support, and the aluminum bumper supports. I also lightened the front aluminum bumper with some holes.
I am also planning on installing a new fuel system, and a progressive nitrous controller.
Hopefully with all the changes I will have some better videos next year. It would be nice to run a high 10 on horsepower, with out loosing the street ability. That may be asking for a lot. Looking for 3 tenths or so!
First outing is the Monte’s @ MIS show in April!

Wow, Mike I didn't know you had your car apart. I just happen to look at this thread again and saw the pictures of your car.

Im sure it will pick up over 3 tenths with all of the upgrades! \:D

I didn't even touch my car this winter... I was too lazy! lol
