I wish it was only my mother who bitched me out. At least you don't have to try and convince her to sleep with you after a good bitch session.

Hey!! I'm not alone then. I got busted yesterday by my wife about the new S/C pulley that's coming. I didn't realize she was standing behind me as I was typing about it in an e-mail. She doesn't know about the chip re-burn though. Unless, of course she beats me to the mailbox next week.

No doubt, mom's you can get away from, from time to time. Try to get away from a not so happy spouse, not an easy task!!

I get all my goodies shipped to me at work as I am in good standing with the receiving folks.

The way I get busted is when a "heavy foot spasm" occurs and get the "Your truck seems faster....bit" Too late then....

Bah hahahahahaha

I get home from work a good two hours before the wife does. That gives plenty of time to check out the new arrivals and get them out of site. The only time it gets touchy is when she takes a day off and is home when the UPS drops the package off.

RTKILLA - I installed my TB last night. Seems like it was worth the effort.

For those angry spouses you just have to remember "it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission"

Geez!
After reading these posts, I feel sorry for you guys. My wife buys me parts for my Lightning so I can make it go faster!

She even made sure I woke up in time to drive to Laguna Seca to race on a holiday weekend that her mother was in town.

BTW, after adjusting a couple items, the new TB from BABOLT made the L run sweet. I finally got to open it up the other night while driving to look at puppies with my wife. I nailed it at 55 and backed off at XX mph. She said "OK, you don't have to do that again!" (Even though I warned her about it, the acceleration scared her.)

She noticed the difference as much as I did.

Thanks Mike!

You guys should have your toys mailed to work instead of your home if you are worried about the spousal unit finding out!

P.s. I am a very bad influence. My friends tell me so.
