    I don't know how much of a hookup it is, but I am working with their engineering/R&D team on the development of the intake for the new taco. You looking to get a CAI for your Tundra?

    So I went for an in person interview yesterday at LifeLock Tempe and it was awesome. What a great organization and team that I could potentially be supervising. It was such a night/day difference over interviewing with Schwab being very professional and organized. I shouldn't forget to mention that Gordan Biersch was downstairs giving out free food as well.

    I even recieved a call from Schwab yesterday explaining why its been so long since they have been in contact and stated they had moved the manager I interviewed with out of that position. They are now needing 3 level 1 Analysts and are offering a 10k bonus per year due to the pay rates of the competition and losing good people.

    Passed the board, now just gotta go to school and hope points stay low so I can promote to staff sergeant.

    Thanks for the support everyone.

    @iJonny, I tend to go Spartan mode before big events in my life. No sexual actions with my wife 2 weeks before such event. Sounds weird but it works lol

    Who did you interview with at LifeLock? We've worked with some of their security personnel there and I have a few good contacts over there.

    With your wife, does that include other men or your hand?
    2 weeks is a lot of buildup, you may pull a Luis and get her preggers just by looking at her.

    Leslie Edwards, she is the manager of ETS and her team. She would be my boss and they would be my direct reports.

    Any more personal observations with your intake good or bad?
    Worth it? Any discounts for 'friends'?

    So, the latest version is definitely improved over the previous prototype. First, and some might feel most important, is that I am seeing about 1 to 1.5 MPG improvement over stock. That said, with 285's I am seeing about 18 to 19.5 mpg, which is pretty damn good. Under heavy acceleration, truck seems to pull harder and has a very throaty induction noise that is definitely not present with the factory air box. Under normal driving conditions, freeway and around town, it's got a little more rumble, but not annoying at all, and the throttle seems more responsive. All in all, I am really happy with it. It's been on my truck for almost a full week, and will likely be on for another week of testing. So far it's gone up to the expo, and all around the valley, so it's certainly seems quite a bit of driving conditions.

    If you're near Scottsdale ever, let me know and I will gladly meet you somewhere so you can check it out first hand. Given my observations with the latest version, I definitely think it's worth the money.
