*got a lot of compliments from people at work today based off sound. All I did was go by dealership in 1st gear and snapped the throttle for a literal split second. Guess it sounds good going by. Moment I can get this 93 octane out,...I shouldn't have any issues getting to WOT.....especially since I have some sticky tires on the rear right now.

Rolling vids will be soon to follow...keep you posted.

Thanks bro, appreciated. Unfortunately the car was out of my reach for a while, I never got to mess with it. Now that I have it here, right were I work, im hoping to get all the bugs out and finish the car. Gonna probably pull the maf though soon.
