Yes, you are no longer sworn to secrecy. Give me a call. I want to discuss what is going on with your engine.

I now have a tight nitrous stall converter and a 3.73 geared S60, so that is not going to happen, but it ought to be downright interesting on a small shot of giggle juice.

That nitrous puck is awesome.

No, I take that back.

Your engine is ******* awesome, and the nitrous puck happens to be relatively neat.

Very impressive build, sir.

It is in the car. Have to modify the exhaust to fit the new headers before I can test drive it. It sounds wicked with open exhaust.

I welded up the exhaust and took the car out for a bit tonight. She is very strong and RPMs to the moon. A ton of fun to drive. The permagrin is stuck on my face.
