Default 727 comes in for landing

Bystanders describe my car as sounding like a jet aircraft.

We will be done soon.

Between the Weldon, Vortech Mondo Bypass and the YS I'm not sure what they were referring to exactly. After driving around for a bit a bunch of truck drivers came out of the neighbouring warehouses to spectate.

Its probably the BOV that makes it sound like a jet, I remember hearing it on the dyno with the 700rwhp + passes

I'm waiting for some connectors from FAST before I can wire in the eDIST.

Hope to see and hear that car in a video at a track in the near future.

No it's my fault, I misunderstood how the eDIST is connected to the coils and the harness I have is not the right application. The eDIST is hooked up much more simply than I realized.

Car is badazz with all the new parts, just need to finish it up and take off the three year old slicks.

Thumbs up

I'll be looking for you John at GLD this year. Moser 9", 3.50 gears, spool and 35 splines arrived today. 27x11.5" Hoosiers sitting right next to it.

Show me what that YS trim can do., Or get humiliated by a LIL' step child of a G-TRIM.
Only thing I ask, YOU drive your car. I need some sort of advantage

How about a sound clip.

If you don't like some of the noise a bit of the thin Dynamat Xtreme under the hood over the headunit can help.

Sounds like you like it. You could cut down half of the hoise without losing all of the sound if you want less attention.
