Any owners in the Wichita, KS area?

Update on the new Bigs location for the Friday shows-

Mike Berry talked about the new location in his "Wichita on Wheels" column in today's Wichita Eagle (I've attached a link to the story).

I checked out the new location last week. It should work fine. We won't have any shade, but it looks like we'll have lots of space with pretty good lighting.

Great Tag my friend...Did you move?

 

lol.. no.. the military lets me keep my registration/tags with my home state of record.. WV is $40 for 2 years.. lol

although we did sell our home in Nov and are currently living in Rose Hill.. building in Andover.. should be done in July!!

 

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you Matt.

Swing by the center for lunch someday when you have your beast out at the base. We are just outside the back gate on 31st and bunker hill. Lunch is at 11.00, but plenty left until Noon.

Good to hear from you again,
BJ

 

Great tag!
The weather is going to be getting nice soon. We will have to start planning a get together.

Brian

 

I'll be ready for a get-together soon. The guys at Woodhouse are just about done with the Paxton installation. Here's a picture from late last week.

How much boost? Your beast should really be a tire shreader! I'll be looking for wide burn marks around town!

 

I'm going with a conservative boost, and we haven't done the dyno yet. I'll post the numbers when I get them (Woodhouse uses a Mustang dyno, which reads lower than a Dynojet, so there's always some question about correction/comparison factors).

 

Got the initial numbers today from Woodhouse (I'm not sure what driveline-loss factor they used)-- 649 HP at the crank, 653 ft.lbs at the crank. The A/F ratio was a little lean in places, so we're sending the PCM to DC Performance for a custom tune.

 

WOW!
You know that we are all going to pressure you to run it at the drags now.
I am sure you cannot wait to get it back. Please let us know when it arrives!

Brian

 

That's my concern!! I think I'll just have to borrow Comp's license plate, and stand over in the corner in shame.....

 

HAAAAAAA...You're killing me.

 

Weather is starting to look like spring! Anybody out and about? Sunny days and cold air ahead. I just wish the raytheon tunnel on central was a lot longer! Anybody know who's garrage is next to the car wash and body shop on central and webb? Looks like a dream garrage.

 

I was out today for over 3 hours simply driving....it was great!

I believe that's the new garage ownership jobbie that is for all the guys whose ladies don't want their hobbies at their house. Supposed to be a pretty neat deal. There was a write up in the journal not too long ago.

Brian---Did you paint the 308 or is it a new trade?

 

No repaint but a new car.....a 1977 GTB.

Brian

 

I did notice after checking the profile...I think you are out of room sir, unless you plan on an addition soon.

 

Thanks! Anyone know whats in it? I've seen a few people parked outside. I've been meaning to stop by and check out the garage. I've heard he's a real car guy.

 

I've seen a yellow 360 coupe, a red 360 spyder, and a black scag. Are they members?

 

Not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me.

looks like you have a decent list of autos at your house, not only could you be the president, but also a member.

 

Another 308? That brings you up to 4 Italian cars? Lucky guy! We should plan a get together that works!
