Thanks for all the input guys. We are going to be working on the tune again pretty soon and I will either get it on a Dyno Jet or back to the track to see how it is performing. The dyno we are using for the tuning is a Dynapack and it will not give accurate power readings for an auto car with a loose stall.

This was my thought as well...

Cool man. Yes, it was pretty loud. At idle was the worst, cruising and when you roll into it it sounded nice, just got tired of it at idle. You might like it though.
