Crazy month. I can't wait for my 4 day weekend, gonna try and sneak out early on Thursday. Playing golf Friday morning then I gotta work on the front yard and clean both cars. Gonna try and knock it all out on Friday so I can chill out the other 3 days.

Not trying to start a fight/come off as a jerk, just voicing my opinion.
Just as 88 said... you have no idea what you're missing Matt. Mine lagged like an sob, now I get to push down less and see better mpg's

BTW 88, let me know of your thoughts on Justin's tunes... been thinking of switching to him this coming year. I hear good things from them and people seem to prefer his tunes over PHP's
