Thumbs up JLP!!!

I went to JL's last week for a dyno tune, eventhough his mail order tune was pretty much on the money! I was interested in making sure everything was in line and also to obtain a race gas tune for track use.

As luck would have it, my truck was having some behavioral issues after I left JLP. John was able to fix it via email and the truck is happy once again.

As a side note, I dynoed 422/515 with a 5lb JLP lower previously. I recently switched to the JLP 4lb lower and lost approx. 15rwhp, but after JL finished his tune, we were back up to 422rwhp.

Thanks to JLP for their incredible knowledge and awesome customer service!

I'm in southern Delaware, almost near Salisbury, MD.

But I do make it out to Newark occasionally weather dependent.

We should definitely meet up in Newark.

Wow, I'm originally from Milford,DE. I used to go to Delaware International Speedway frequently! Spent many Sat. night down there, crewing for a modified. My brother races there and Bridgeport speedway, forget the number of his car (used to be 888). He want's me to come down and race some friends of his, I want to wait and have a KB first considering they're spraying!
You have to come up to Cecil Dragway this Spring, looks like there is going to be a lot of competition.
e-mail me if your up this way. wglanden@comcast.net

Derek: Cambridge, eh? You're not too far, I'm in Seaford. I'm at Delmar occasionally, but not often. Based on your sig, we have similar mods. If you're in the area, send me an email at two1bar@yahoo.com and we'll meet up.

Bryan: You've got a KB on the way? I can't check it that out because it might be too tempting! Once the weather clears we'll all schedule a meet. Send me an email at two1bar@yahoo.com and we'll all coordinate.

I think they open up at the end of February, are you interested in going? I was looking at your pics, thats an amazing viper and a crazy supra, what do u do for a living to have some toys like that!!!???!!

No KB yet, trying to sell my motorcycle then I'll have it! My truck has been buried in snow for the past 2 weeks anyway.

I met up with a few guys near Applebee's in Glasgow a couple different times. They mentioned you may show up in your TT Viper(Sal with the nasty viper)...I think some of the guys were friends of yours. I was in the 01 Lightning once and the 03 Cobra the other time...you didn't show up either time.

Are you related to any of the Eldreth's, ran a sprint car down at DIS??
Where are you in Elkton? I'm right behind Walmart's off of 40, let me know next time everybody meet's at Applebee's.
I probably met you last summer at Cecil, was talking to a guy at the track who ran a low 11 and wasn't happy because he was in the 10's before.
