Default First life after 7 months!!!!

Just thought I'd post this up. Tell me what you think. The car is going to the muffler shop in a few days but thought I'd have a little fun anyway. Car is very rich. I really need a tune now. It was cutting out really badly but after a few passes down the drive way it seemed to clear up a lot. But it really needs a tune! Mods are in my sig.

Sounds good.
You going to have Ed Wright out of Tulsa do the tune?

The total project was about 15k but its a lot more than just the engine and maggie. I had some trans work done, wheels and tires, and plenty of other things. I stated a thread called V is nearing completion a few days ago with some pics and about everything I could think of. The thread shouldn't be to far down consider thing traffic on this site is minimal lol

I called Ed's shop a while back and they charge 600. I talked to another guy in OKC, SW tuning, I think I may end up going out there. Its only like a 1.5 hours away. It would be nice to have a local tuner but it takes literally 2 months of waiting to get in Ed's shop. There is another guy that is local that owns Arch Angel Motorsports here in Tulsa. He is a ford shop but he actually drives an LS2 CTS-V and was working on getting the stuff to start the GM line. His dad bought a C6Z06 and it was getting a head and cam swap last I was in there.

Yeah Ed charges out the *** but I guess he's one of the best in the nation. 2 months is crazy.
