    Question for fellow IT guys

    Hey SVTP & fellow IT pros. Quick question on the work front. Would changing from a network security engineer (think Cisco R&S + security stuff) to an info security analyst (100% security stuff) be a step up or down career wise? Based purely on salary ranges, it looks like this would be...

    Terminator Dyno Numbers

    I put the car on the dyno today. About 92* and 30% humidity. I'm curious if it would have been significantly better if it were cooler outside. Also, during the pull, 2 more big chunks of the cats blew out of the new x-pipe (aka slightly used one I bought from a local club member). Damned BBK...

    Shelby EXP-500 @ Spring Carlisle

    Someone told me that the blower belt should be changed about every 10-20k miles. Any truth to this? It's an 03 coupe that still has the original belts on it, so it appears, and just turned 29k miles. Thanks

    Rotted long tubes- replacement suggestions

    So I bought my 03 Cobra last summer with about 28K on the odometer. It had a set of BBK long tubes, a BBK catted mix-pipe and a borla cat-back setup. That's about it as far as mods go. Pretty close to stock and it's a garage queen. Shortly after I got the car, I noticed an exhaust rattle and...

    How to deal with burnout

    no....not the tire melting, smoke inducing burnouts we all know and love. I mean the corporate kind. Lately, I've just been burnt with work. All of corporate America's drama & BS is wearing me out. I feel like I'm always on my last nerve and I bet it's readily apparent. I realize it's a...
