Bullets are I think the best sounding catbacks,...either a LG pro or kooks sound somehow wicked.

...as far as your shifting,...I think you should start looking into a clutch swap and hydraulic's. We've got big plans for you bubb,...can you say, WET KIT?...so, we need to be prepared anyways. Besides, we're getting clutchs in and out of these quickly nowadays.

By the way, your gay. You do shift like a girl. We're taking a ride this week.

Nice car! I took mine to silver dollar in reynolds, ga with MCE and was trying to figure out how to launch it and did a best of 12.503 at 117mph 2.1 60ft untuned in 90* heat. Thats an easy 11 sec car you have! I had a rich tune of 11.1 and made a shabby 373whp 370wtq.. I have it straightened out now with a 13.0-13.1afr now and havent been back to the dyno.
