Good Morning/ Good night Space! (I guess since you still have not got any sleep...)

I know, I kinda forgot it was Wednesday already...pretty awesome I only had school two days this week, and work 4 days! This weekend should be here soon!

I forgot to mention in my first post, I got my STB in the mail yesterday...I ordered it from ZZP for the Grand Prix, and I thought I had read that it would need to be slotted out inorder to fit...I opened the hood last night, and just kinda placed it in there, and all the holes matched up perfectly on my Monte! Maybe the 06-07 Monte's bolts are in a slightly different spot then the 00-05 Monte's...

Also, I bought a Jet Performance Module yesterday. Its not a programmer, its a drop in chip. As you all know, aftermarket for the 06-07 3.5L is not huge, and I looked everywhere for programmers...only ones I founds turned out to be only for the 5.3L....But I found this Performance Module for my car....It was $247 at AutoAnything.com, then 10% off for a Labor day sale, plus free shipping....So I paid $222.30...I thought that was pretty reasonable. I bought the stage 2 module...they had a 1 and 2. The stage 1 said good for totally stock cars, and capable of running on regular gas. The Stage 2 was for slightly modified cars (required free flowing exhaust, and CAI) and also required 91 octane...So I bought the stage 2. The ad said up to 25HP gains, which I though sounded like BS, so I called and asked, and Jet sent me the Dyno specs for my car/ engine and it shows 14HP and 12 FT LB of torque for the stage 2 with required mods on my particular engine. So who knows how true that is, but if its even close, i'll be happy! I looked into a HPTune because it was basically my only other option, and I liked that it gave me the fredom to tune exactly how I wanted, but it was more than twice the price, plus requires you to have a laptop, which I do not have...so I just went with the chip...can't wait to get it in along with my STB, and see if I can feel any differences!!!

Good morning all. Space our work year this year is 183 days do to budget issues. Normally it is 190. It is no secret that teaching has some great benefits. It is hard work, but the pay off is well worth it. I have all grades today so we will find out how things go.
Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone!

Got into work a little late today, all the little kids getting on busses for the first time must have slowed everything down and I missed my train. Now I have a bunch of requests to do!!!! ugh.

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday! I know I can't wait for the weekend to drive up to my parent's!

Are you getting your tune done by your parents? Or getting it done before that, and having a nice long test drive after!?

Good Morning everyone!

I spent much of yesterday and so far this morning taking care of emails, PM's and issues behind the scenes in the MCF Staff Lounge.

Space just got the MCF staff Yugo detailed. Looks awesome. That new flame job kicks ***. Mike and Wayne brought donuts for the staff. Everyone in the secretary pool says Thanks! (isn't the imagination a wonderful thing? lmao)

Seriously, it looks like rain around here for today. Oh well, makes for good sleeping weather. Which I need to do very soon!

Hope everyone has a terrific and prosperous day!
