What do you guys do?

[Shifted]

I always find it interesting to see what other people do in life...

So, what do you guys do to support your additictions?

I'll start it off...

I'm a software developer / project manager. I write software packages that cost anywhere from $10,000 to $2,000,000. I design control systems for large ships and oil rigs. If you ever take a ride on the Staten Island Ferries (3 new ones, the Monarch, Molenari, or Spirit of America), you can thank me for the smooth ride . I travel the world supporting these systems as well, I'm due to go to Africa in the next month or so, Singapore, China, and Sweden sometime in the next year. I've got ongoing projects that I manage in Portland, Louisiana, Michigan.

How about you guys (or ladies)?

[MeentSS02]

Officer in the Air Force of the engineering sort...nothing special.

[Bill@HPTuners]

and all this time I thought you worked for Taco bell with all of your requests for a Burrito warmer

[S2H]

I work as a Touring Audio Engineer and Systems Tech...sometimes I also work as a Tour Manager as well..


basically I live in a Tour Bus...with a band or with the rest of the crew...
and I go from town to town setting up the PA/Sound System equipment for Concerts...
Somtimes I get to actually Make the band sound good..sometimes its my job to make the Equipment sound good and hand the keys over to some other moron and let him make it sound bad...
I've been doing it for about 14 years now....

[Bill@HPTuners]

I work in a cubical for 6 1/2 hours a day online for most of that time.

I thought Steve worked at Dell Taco, isn't he the funny guy on the commercials?

Me, I do a lot of different things. My primary position is as a Design Engineer at B&M, which I now have been appointed Lead Engineer at McLeod. Out side of that I am the crew chief for my wife's addiction to speed ... she pilots the 9 second beast in my sig. Currently it is apart while we (yes her and I) are puttting in a temporary engine to continue racing. Next setup we will also build, but will go quicker. Then I also do tuning (duh!) on the side. Pretty much no time for anything else.

[MeentSS02]

Well......don't tell the Air Force, but I've been known to do some moonlighting from time to time at the local Messycan joints

[Sp00ner]

Software developer... for a marketing research company... it's more like a slightly chaotic zoo than a company, but it's fun...

[EC_Tune]

Full time tuner.
My past life was as an electronics wonk at Edelbrock for 14 years. Hacking code, tuning, data acquisition, testing. Usual techie stuff.

I met Ken via the 454SS.com forum where we were comparing code snippits and told him about Keith's PCM hacking site a few years back.

Guess it was my fault... Sorry Keith & Chris! hehehehe

[bmfcamaro]

i am a professional student . i go to UCSB for Chemical Engineering. Some tuff crap . i have lost most of my free time do to it. but it will be worth it

didnt you just put in that engine not too long ago?

[12secSS]

Yeah, we did. It blew the head gaskets at Irwindale and got water in the crankcase. When we took it apart, the pistons had hit the cylinder heads on the driver's side, that resulted in a bent exhaust valve (#3). Wonderful huh?

EC, always causing trouble. Hey, my buddy (Electronics Eng.) from AEM just started at Edelbrock ... a successor possibly.

[EC_Tune]

More of a replacement - See below:

My supervisor, mentor, and all around good friend Doug Moody passed June 12th.

Way before I met him at Edelbrock, he ran an Alcohol Funny Car in the 60's & 70's in the northwest circuit & Canada. He had a crash at Ontario in 76 at the World Finals and was in a chair since then. That didn't stop him as he got an electronics degree & ran the Electronics Dept at Edelbrock for 20 years.

Doug took me in as family (as my closest relatives were 150 miles away) and was always available to chat about anything. I will truely miss the man.

EC -- Exclusive Member of the *Doug Club*

* Doug & I always referred to ourselves as the *Doug Club* with another *Doug* at Edelbrock.

was that a problem of the builder? or just a normal thing?

[jimmyblue]

I do circuit design for a small west coast semiconductor
company, from an office over my garage.

[eficalibrator]

I'm a Mechanical Engineer and OEM calibrator working on model year 2007-2010 stuff. In a past life I owned my own speed shop, but enjoy the lower stress corporate lifestyle. I still tune and train tuners on the side.

[12secSS]

Sorry to hear that EC. I had heard about Doug, and it sounded like he was good man.

was that a problem of the builder? or just a normal thing?

The pistons hitting the heads was the builder, as well as other mistakes I found as I tore the car apart. The head gasket blowing, I am not sure about yet, the car was not overheating at all. I am not sure I will find out what happened ... I do know one piston (#3) was very clean and shiny, unlike the others.

[12secSS]

Yup, this time I am going to do it ... what is that old saying? I think I know, that you know who you think you know did it before, is correct. Did I say that right?
