Thanks! I couldn't touch them for about 3 years... had a really bad gall bladder attack one night after drinking one and even the smell put me off...

now I can't get enough of them!

The Hoptologist IPA is rated higher than Pliny the Elder (which I cant find anywhere!)

Several different Hefeweizen beers. Trying out some local stuff to see how it stacks up to the Germans. San Diego is a beer city. My local bar also has Pliny the Elder on tap.

Cool to finally put a face with the name. I don't think I have ever seen a guy on this forum get a harder initiation when you first got here. You sir, are hard core for hanging in there.

I really do hope it works the one I got from eurocharged for my car did not work

on the street second gear slipped, at the end of first year I would have to get out of the throttle, so that it would change gears without slipping..
on the track that's a different story
four times in a row I got my burnout,moved up to the line, launch like crazy, at the end of first gear limp mode,,I had paid $75 for the track day, and got in 4, first beer only runs, Iran between 15.9 @ at 61 mph to 16.5 59 mph
when I called Jerry at euro charge, he said quote, I'm tired of holding everybody's hand to get these things to work right just send it back to me I'll refund your money,, which I did,, now went to JS Benz's look it up on Google he has installed and set up a TCM, for my 327 gear , and now it's in the testing, but so far it looks good there is no slip between first and second
and he has is set up so when it shifts gears,it shifts gears let me know how your works out I'm very curious. jim

Seems to be a lot of mixed reviews on this mod.
I know members that have bad to have multiple flashes to "tweak" the tune.

Maybe it is a matter of the trans needing time to adapt.
Maybe it is a matter of owner expectations. Kind of like a lightend fly wheel or an aftermarket torque converter....some love it but - certainly they are not mods for the masses.

Good luck Toad, hope you love it!
