I know you're converter is already chosen and installed, but for future reference I daily drove a Yank 3600 (with a 230"/232" .595"/.585" 114 LSA) for a long time and was not at all annoyed. Very street friendly.

I remember meeting.

I'm gonna be going out of town for two days, when I get back I will have to get the exhaust installed before I can get the car tuned.

What exhaust are you running (mufflers)?

I'm planning on no cats, true duals dumped before the rear and Sweet-Thunder mufflers. I dont mind loud but I also wanna be able to hear the passenger if at idle.

I need to get Rob's car started (98z28bitcha) so I can hear his exhaust.

Angry Rant

Today started out terrible.
First I had a nightmare where I walked outside and my car was parked backwards next to my house. The hood was open and I was able to see that someone had ripped my motor apart. They stole my Fast 92/92, afr heads even the stock water pump. I was so mad in the dream I started to punch my headlights and bumper.

I woke up and ran outside. It was pouring outside. I look at my car and it was parked backwards just like in my dream. Someone pried open my T-tops and the driver side door was open only it was a lambo door and my car turned white. The interior of my car was soaked. I popped open my hood and my Fast 92 inake was gone but they had left the TB only it wasn't a 92mm it was a Vic Jr. set up.

I had a nightmare inside a nightmare. WTF???

I was so pissed in the dream I woke up pissed off.
I walked outside in real life and my buddies truck had a flat. No spare. I pump it up with a bike pump I had to ride in the hot sun to my mom's house to get. You ever pump a truck tire with a bike pump? It's a work out.
Then I went to go see my car and the shop was closed.(My fault it was almost 6pm and I didnt call first)
I was expecting to wake up again but didn't.

* End of Rant
