Default Vortech arrived .. Questions

My Vortech kit finally arrived!
I was contemplating just selling the kit after what happened this past sunday (4th). My girlfriend was shot at the resort we were staying at. Someone fired a large caliber rifle in the air, well what goes up must come down and it struck her nearly killing her. She ended up having open heart surgery because the bullet came to a rest beneath her heart. Everything is going to be ok now, but I had a serious wake up call as to whats important to me. Last night she asked me if I got the kit yet, I said yes and that I was just going to sell it. She told me NOT to as she wants to be the first to drive it after its installed! I won't be installing it for a couple of weeks since I will be taking care of her .
So I have a couple of questions for the experts...
Is anyone using the http://www.zeitronix.com/ piece ? I cant seem to make up my mind on gauge choices. Any input would be appreciated!

Glad all is well! Not a situation I would want confronting me. On the Zeitronix. It is a nice gauge. Mounted mine inside the Nav area on carbon fiber plate. You must tap into two (2) wires within the ECU, so if you do install SC, do it at the same time.

No they have not found the person yet. The police and EMT's were terrible at the scene. No one would believe me that she had been shot. I think I should know since I was standing next to her. Here is a link to the story.

When is the next time you are going to be at the dealership?
Can you post a pic of your pod? I know you did before but I couldnt find the post.
Do you think going polished was a good choice?

and people think that kind of celebration (firing gun in the air) is something foolish only Afghan or Iraqis would do

Glad she's going to be ok, good luck

What a terrible shock! It seems your girl friend has the right attitude though. We have to deal with the curves life throughs at us and keep on going.

You and your girl friend should enjoy your new toy all the more, because of your renewed since of the value and frailty of life.
