The access port is obviously a good idea, but have you guys ever heard anything negative about this particular brand? I can afford it now, and 7% hp gain is nice, plus it will be useful in the future...

The ProCharger supercharger has a pretty decent price tag on it, although I'm not sure I'm ready to spend 5500 bucks on it just yet... I know it would be so sweet even baby jesus would want it, but its not exactly cheap, and its not exactly going to be an easy sell to the wife...

I was digging around today and found one of my old dyno sheets. I did not post this up back when I ditched the TN kit for the PL gt35r kit, because I didn't want to leave bad impressions on the Powerlab gt35r kit.

Here is the truth by dyno comparison. The red is TN kit, blue PL kit. Both at 10psi tuned with a haltech same dyno same tuner. Stock block. I did add a 3/8 PL intake spacer while doing the Powerlab install that is the only change. Same exhaust ect..

As you can see the TN kit holds it's ground for a moderate power range. If you don't plan on building your block the TN kit will get the job done. But you gotta love that nice flat TQ curve the gt35 puts out. And a real good tuner.

I went out of town for 8 days and left my 2003 Z Track at home, it wasn't touched by anyone during this time.

I come back and the car fires up perfectly, no problems there at all. However, I am getting zero sound from my speakers. Not even a "whir" sound or static if I turn the volume all the way up. The stock non-bose head unit appears to be function perfectly normal, it is taking cds no problem and no sounds come out of the speakers on both Radio/CD mode. I can change the radio station and shuffle through tracks on a dics without issue.

So...where should I start looking to solve this issue. Could this possible be a fuse? Would it help to disconnect the battery?

Patrons claim service was so bad, they had to get napkins and silverware for themselves!

Quote:

If you’re frustrated by poor service at a restaurant, think twice before you decide to not tip. You may be in for a bit more than just a dirty look from the waiter.

"Nobody, nobody wants to be forced to pay a tip or be arrested for terrible service," Leslie Pope said when her happy hour ended in handcuffs.

Pope and John Wagner were hauled away by police and charged with theft for not paying the mandatory 18 percent gratuity totaling $16 after eating at the Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem, Pa. with six friends.

Pope claimed that they had to wait nearly an hour for their order and that she had to get napkins and silverware for the table herself.

“At this point I became very annoyed because I had already gone up to the bar myself to have my soda refilled because the waitress never came back,” Pope said.

After the $73 bill came, the group paid for food, drinks, and tax but refused to pay the tip. After explaining the bad service to the bartender in charge, Pope claimed he took their money and called police. The couple was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car.

“I understand that, you know, we didn’t pay the gratuity, but it was a gratuity, it wasn’t something that was required,” said Wagner.

The owner admitted that the group waited unusually long for their food, but said the pub was extremely busy that night. He said managers offered to comp the food, a claim the couple denies ever happened.

“Obviously we would have liked for the patron and the establishment to have worked this out without getting the police involved,” said Deputy Police Commissioner Stuart Bedics.

Police charged them with theft since the gratuity was part of the actual bill. However, it is doubtful that the charges will hold up in front of a judge. The couple is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Yet another reason to have some "common sense" with regard to your own personal finances.

Reports that Nicolas Cage is going broke have been all over the web in the past few days. According to a report by Yahoo, Cage has filed a $20 million lawsuit against his ex-manager, Samuel Levin. He's accused Levin of negligence and fraud and stated that he's been
Is Nicolas Cage Broke? Cage Sues Ex-manager for $20 Million
"led down a path toward financial ruin."

Perez Hilton claims that Cage is selling his "haunted" mansion in New Orleans in addition to his $35 million mansion in Hollywood. Additionally, Hilton claims that Cage did not pay his 2007 federal income tax on the home in New Orleans which is worth $3.55 million.

It has also been reported that Cage recently sold his 132 foot yacht for $7.7 million.

Additionally, a lien has been filed by the IRS for $6,257,005 for unpaid federal income tax.

Cage just recently fired his ex-manager of seven years. He claims that Levin did not tell him that he was running out of money and that his credit had already been over-extended.

Celebrity website TMZ.com stated that Cage has been forced to "sell major assets and investments at a significant loss". This is due to Levin not paying Cage's taxes when they were due. Additionally, Cage stated that Levin had made speculative and shaky real estate investments.

According to Cage, Levin's actions resulted in Cage "suffering catastrophic losses."

Cage is well known for his acting roles in "National Treasure", "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Face/Off". According to Fobes.com, Cage earned about $40 million in 2008. He also has six movies that should be released to theaters in the next couple of years.

Apparently, Cage was unaware of how bad his financial situation had become until September, 2008. That was when he hired a new manager to replace Levin.

Additionally, Cage feels that his reputation has been "irreparably tarnished".

Actor Nicolas Cage is Suing Financial Manager for Mismanagement of Funds
Nicolas Cage broke? Like many Americans, Nicolas Cage is broke. Even though Nicolas Cage made millions during his career, he is now broke and bankrupt. So just how is it that one actor who has made millions during his acting career is now broke and bankrupt?

Nicolas Cage is not in denial about being broke. The actor is having a real estate liquidation sale and selling properties he owns across the world. In addition, Nicolas Cage is suing a business manager that allegedly sent him "down a path toward financial

ruin" for a minimum of $20 million.

The business manager that Nicolas Cage is suing is Samuel J. Levin and his firm Levin & Co. Management, Inc. Nicolas Cage claims that Levin gave him bad advice and mismanaged his funds.

Levin was Cage's business manager from 2001 to 2008, and has collected millions of dollars in management fees from the former wealthy actor. Cage put his trust in Levin, and claims he didn't know what kind of trouble he was in until he hired new management.

According to the Huffington Post, Levin is a Certified Public Accountant in California and in his 25 years of practice has never been subject to any disciplinary actions. Therefore, Nicolas Cage had no reason not to trust Levin.

What can you do to keep yourself out of a situation such as that of Nicolas Cage? For starters, you should always take an active role in managing your finances. Of course, hiring a business manager or financial consultant is a great idea for wealthy individuals. However, letting someone just 'handle' everything you do could have severe consequences, as the actor has seen. Had Nicolas Cage kept up with everything himself, he may have found out he was in trouble before it was too late.

Always make sure you fully understand any investments your manager is enrolling you in. Nicolas Cage was in numerous highly speculative and risky real estate investments. OF course, we don't know what type of risk tolerance profile Nicolas Cage claimed he had when he went to see the financial advisor. What Nicolas Cage desired may determine if he's successful in a claim against his former manager.
