    Strange, Lidio shipped my Xcal1 to me in Winnipeg, and he's shipped to several members in Ontario. Trust me, a tune will make a difference in drivability from stock. Just the revised shift points make it worthwhile. BTW, I've got 4.10s and a 3000 rpm torque convertor. I already have traction problems. I'm looking forward to more traction problems when I can afford the Trilogy.

    I hear ya...traction can be an issue sometimes but I like my setup with the 4.10's, stock tires and the Trilogy, it's just itchin to go with the slightest press of the pedal

    The modular motor is one of the most boost friendly engines I know of. And speaking of tunes. Doesn't Dennis give free updates on his tunes. And I'm not starting a war of tunes, just asking.

    When you guys install your superchargers with higher boost levels, does anyone try 3.27 gears?

    Must have missed it. Cool! I am obligated to provide this warning: Once you have boost it is like sticking a needle deep in your arm. Your addicted and hooked.

    If I'm not terribly mistaken, a 750 is a V12. Having your ass handed to you by a car sporting 4 more cylinders, and an extra $70K on the sticker ain't so bad.

    Although, it would've been much more fun had it gone the other way!
    750=V8
    760=V12

    Yeah, Lidio said he's getting out of the mail order stuff since he expanded to his new shop. It really isn't worth his time compared to his booming shop, and the customs stuff was a hassle for him. Derek (Freakstatus) just bought an Xcal2 from Lidio and sent to a cousin in NY, who then sent it up here to BC. We got together for lunch, but I didn't have time to go for a ride, and it was raining pretty good anyways. He said it improved things noticably. I'll have to wait until I go to Oregon....

    And HEY Sully, why haven't I seen you in the Maple Leaf Marauder section under the "Canadian Marauder Calendar" thread? Maybe I should check real quick to see if I missed you....

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    If I do, I'll still pay all the duties. If I go for a visit and stay a bit, I can bring all my stuff (K&N CAI, Xcal2, 870 Tactical!) back across duty free.

    Chader man! Thanks for the offer, but Lidio sent it out at least a week ago. Also, I have the other stuff there in Oregon waiting in a hall closet for me to come get them! I need an excuse to drive the coast, and love going down and volunteering at my friend's ranch anyways! http://www.crystalpeaksyouthranch.or...s/default.aspx

    Also, could you resend your MM calendar photo to me? I filed it somewhere and can't find the dang thing!! Thanks! Send to ijacobi AT shaw.ca
