Great seeing you too! I did change out the plugs and cleaned the MAF and the car seems to run much better, sounds better and revs much faster now. Still need to get the nitrous system working again though

Car is running now! Its just on a base tune and running rich. Getting it to Speedinc for a dyno tune and having the spool new gear set put in on the 6th.
Heres a crappy vid camera couldnt handle the sound very good.
