    My buddy sold his house in Cali and had so much in equity he came here where housing is cheaper and bought nice a house in cash and lives mortgage free and debt free. Dude is living it up. Texas is gun friendly too just saying, bud!

    Thanks. I noticed that and that was my assumption of the data.

    I really do want to live a few other places during my lifetime. My wife is from Japan and I envy that she has been able to live there and here. She also wants to stay in LA because of the weather.

    Other issues revolve around family being here and having two little kids.

    Someday maybe.

    . . . do any of you have pics of how the UCON came in the mail?

    I got 2 boxes, one is def the S/C and all its glory, the second, I can def see the fuel filter and lines for the pump. . .but I cant make out the UCON. Trying to get my wife to check for it but besides a google image of it shes not sure what shes looking for exactly (and she and I both dont want her rummaging through the box necessarily). She is a surgical nurse so I have no doubt of her being meticulous about taking things out (im just worried maybe it didnt get boxed which is probably a complete crazy thought)

    Family is important. And it's hot and humid here for sure. I work in a non-airconditioned environment too. It's not for everybody. There are tons of other places I'd rather live but I'm in the same boat. Family all here.

    I wouldn't worry about it just have her rip the boxes open. Nothing in there that's super delicate.

    Im just worried since I wont actually see the box for a little bit of time (deployed)...if there is an issue when I get home itll be like "well you should have identified it earlier" or something like that. Not to say Gadget is like that in any way nor have I had a bad experiecne with him EVER, im just paranoid haha

    I didn't take any pics of the UCON box but I think it was a plain white box.

    Seriously though, if your wife opens the boxes she won't damage anything in there.

    I hear ya, bro. If lived in the WA area I would gladly volunteer my box opening skills. TX is too for though, haha.

    How long until you get to come home?

    Thanks for your service, BTW.

    haha I appreciate it, I'd use your help on the install too (we'll see how well those instructions are).

    Just a 'couple' months left. Almost there. And thanks for the support. Most people have forgotten we are still fighting a war with people dying (which infuriates me). Some have forgotten what happened 16 yrs ago.

    This is what I got back from Scott regarding the data logs.

    Thanks for the data – all looks good:
    1. AFR is in control
    2. Adaptives are close to zero
    3. Max MAF = 231 g/s
      1. Little low
      2. Make sure your belt is not slipping
      3. Make sure your intercooler is full
      4. You should see the coolant flowing
    4. Had 1’ of spark knock
      1. Air temperature was 95’
      2. Make sure you get good fuel
    5. Engine coolant temp was 189’F
      1. Do you have a cooler thermostat installed?

    Thanks for your service brother, I know I for one will never forget what happened 16 years ago. Here's me as a lieutenant at ground zero. In the background is a Barclay St sign and destroyed building #7.

    My logs always show 184-188. Maybe I need one of them fancy Ron Davis radiators like @Torspd has.
