That's a good goal. I owe way too much on mine for my taxes to even make a significant dent on the balance

I'll be testing 2 or 3 different exhaust setups in 2 weeks...

What's everyone doing with their tax money?
tax money will be part of my down payment money come this summer.

I don't pay taxes since I work for the government anyway, and I always get some back

Yea, same boat....zero down, plus I took a hit on my trade in

I ended up way over paying for this car, but I don't care. I wanted it, and hated the car I was in ('03 civic LS).

lol that is sooo funny......... from a tuning stand point he may be right. 13.5+ a/f's is kinda a no no.

but from my experience I have seen Dozens of factory fresh trucks/ SUVs, which dont seem to run to much timing, run over 14:1 all day long, the chevy trailblazer runs over 15:1 throughout the entire powerband.

just food for thought.
Im sure Isuzu spends lots of money on R&D
