Default Going through OR & WA

I'll be taking off to PRE racing on Sept 3 to get the car dyno'd at around 4 in the p.m., then from there, we'll be heading north to my wife's hometown in Chehalis, WA. We'll be visiting family and attending a wedding that weekend. I love the west coast so I'm stoked, but this will be our first road trip w/ our baby.
The boxer rumble soothes her to sleep. It'd be cool if I ran into some of you...not literally.

Sounds like a fun trip! I had my car tuned by Bobby and PRE and I love it. Chehalis is about 90 minutes or so south of me. If you make it up further north let us know and maybe a few of us Puget Sounders can meet up with you for lunch of something!

How old is the little one? I have a 20 month old and a 2 month old.

We had our "honey moon" in Gig Harbor at a BnB. What a beautiful state you guys have up there. I'd love to hit up Seattle and grab some Ivars at the pier or maybe some pizza in Olympia. I'm the wedding photog and also doing a shoot for some High school senior pics, so I'll try to find some time. We'll be in the area till Sunday.

Our little one is two months just like yours.

Man, I keep wanting to get over to PRE at some point and it would be great to meet you but I just can't make it that day. Hope you have a good trip though, too bad it doesn't coincide with sea-scooby's BBQ!

Got back from our trip. Bobby was awesome and got tons more area under the curve for my tune. The low end torque makes my eyeballs hurt. We went up to seattle on thursday and hung out there for a few hours. Talk about expensive street/lot parking jeez! I got my Ivar's fix for the week, it tasted so good. Hung out w/ my wife's fam for the rest of the week. didn't rain a drop the entire time. I kinda wished it did. I had fun though.

Are you running 19psi? Did you get a dyno sheet?

94 octane? Where do you get that? I was looking at your dyno chart, and it has a nearly identical curve to my 17psi VF39 map Bobby made. Bobby is good at keeping things SMOOTH.
