Yeah...if you do anything recalibrating, you have to "crack" the PCM and it's clear to the manufacturer. What I can tell you is the platform is an absolute beast and if you choose a good tuner the odds of fragging the motor are extremely low. A simple pulley swap for more boost will not do it. You have the benefit I do of dual fuel pumps and you should have enough injector headroom on 93 to simply add a bit more. Now...my advice is leave it alone. At least until the warranty is up. That's what I advised my friend to do and fortunately, him being relatively young and a family man, he's left it alone aside from powder coating the deadlock rings (don't ask). I'm in the queue for a GTS. It could be forever w/ things going the way they are but I really want one. Gentian blue... HS

Absolutely. I'll turn you on to my tuner. A simple pulley swap and more mojo...easy peasy. I'll give you my number and share whatever I can. I run E85 full time. The tuner also provided a "flex" tune so if you want to swap between the two you can. The only thing about E85 is that you consume 30% more fuel but it's cheaper so the rub is it readily available in your area. My TrackHawk has the same motor your TRX would have. I pulled the blower in the driveway with some friends' assistance (the blower is a pig as it has built in cooling and well...MOPAR), swapped to a smaller pulley for added boost (you need an extractor I would gladly loan you), shorter belt, bigger injectors, a cooler thermostat and a tune/calibration that you need to "crack" your PCM (control module) to use. I use HP Tuners for software and run VMWare on my Mac Pro so I can run Win to use the tuning software. You'll void the warranty but warranty shwaranty.... I've run a 10.3 sec quarter mile at ~132mph and I pushed her to 187mph at the standing mile (Texas Mile) a couple of weekends ago....weighing 5617lbs with my arse in her. Coefficient of drag 1.0...hahaha. Stock catalytic converters and exhaust. I could do a lower pulley / damper swap and pin the crank and make more but I'd have to pull the cat's which I don't feel like doing as it's my daily. Vroom vroom... HS A buddy of mine took delivery of this gem earlier this week. Carrera S stick car. I'm so jelly... HS

I can honestly say the TRX I got to drive was stupid fun, handled WAY better than it should of given the size (the crazy number of suspension/drive modes is helpful), and the interior shocked me w/ how nice it was. Also, you will NOT have to pay a premium over sticker if you find a dealer worth their salt near you. If not let me know and i'll find one for you to speak with. The one thing I would offer is it's BIG...fricken big. I believe a foot longer than my prior RAM 1500 crew cab so that's saying something. Wide as hell too...I'm jealous! TRX FTW IMHO, naamanf! HS

The Onyx Coffee Lab Advent Calendar boxes started shipping. No clue when I'll receive mine but I'm hoping it's next month as I have some vacation planned. The 24 individual packages are nitro flushed so hopefully nice and fresh....can't wait. Until then I'm roughing it with a lovely Peruvian from Memli. Happy caffeinating... HS

I don't know that I'd call them hideous if you love stainless boxes...LOL HS

The Niche is the business. You’re going to love it, ER. HS

Beautiful gesture, ER! You made that young lady's day, month...maybe year. HS

Please accept my condolences for your loss, Todd. Godspeed, Ann… Sam

Another veritable bargain...LOL HS

That's a bargain! 😬 HS

Niche FTW!!! HS

Please accept my condolences, Chris. Godspeed Ms Lori… Sam

Suggest you check out the anaerobic styles...a bit too rich for me but definitely unusual. They also have some experimental offerings that might be to your liking. https://onyxcoffeelab.com/collections/new-offerings-coffee/profile:modern HS

You'll love the Niche, Sherwood. Although they irritate me with their she-she packaging (costly IMO), Onyx Coffee Labs has exceptional coffee. They have a sampler box that I think is a super value...might be worth a shot. Happy caffeinating... HS

and here I am at the office getting ready to drink a sadly Laughing Man Hugh's Blend K-cup....whining noises ensue. HS

Interesting. That would suck if Tudor elected not to make it right...poor judgement on their part if it's true. HS

Great info, ER. Thank you for sharing. HS

This is excessive but I have to say I'm excited to try many new coffees over the holidays... Onyx Coffee Lab out of AR is a bit proud of their coffees but I have to say all I have tried have been very good. https://onyxcoffeelab.com/products/2021-advent-coffee-box-early-bird?utm_source=All Customers that Accept Marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Phase 1%3A 2021 ONYX Advent Coffee%2C Early Bird (RuRtjf)&_kx=tvG9gPR3m8o0xXNo_z_Kgc7Ze5S0m24Jq8w0qHs_TTc%3D.X9pTrM HS

Love me some Panamanian! I shifted away from darker roasts many a year ago, ER. Found the medium roasts were more to my liking, but I was using a French press solely at the time. I'm still of the same ilk but use the Chemex these days almost exclusively. Once retirement comes and I get a proper espresso maker I might be more inclined to darker roasts again...TBD. The Yemeni Levercraft I had at Grawk's recommendation a few years back was special....very Cherry forward. Pricey but I got it. Love me fruit forward coffees...Ethiopians are the top of the heap for me thus far. Sipping on this at the moment... HS

ER, I understood after I read it a couple of times. That's a beautiful unit but it's a luxury and I definitely get the limited counter space dilemma. As for the imperial measures, I'm all for them... LOL HS

bummer, ER. HS

I’ve read good things over the years about those. HS
