Good deal, that stall should make it easier to spool the turbo and launches should be a fun affair

Glad you went with the batmowheel!

It really is scary how much your car looks like my old black SS.

Batmo is not a Forced Inductions product is it? I thought that was a Bullseye Power product only...unless they are selling the wheels to others.

Funny thing is I ordered the Race Cover and it came with that cover so i called Bullseye and he said they made a mistake by giving me that Bullseye Cover but it just benefits me. lol
I had to buy a stock computer so HP Tuners would work since the OS was changed by my tuner but everything is set to start now. And Pm me your phone number i'll call you I need a few random parts to finish it up. Thats funny it looks like your old car haha You have any pics of it?
