OK I wasn't sure. I thought I heard it on your earlier video, then the one came last night and I definitely heard it again.

Regardless, that is going to be one nasty setup man. I bet you can't wait to drive it!

Cool, my buddy had the tu2 in his 383 ls1 and sounded really sick and went 9.90's on a base tune from speed inc. Overall I would assume you'll make more power then me with the bigger exhaust size vs my 1.10 83mm turbine. Other then that VERY clean build! Congrats!
