Just picked my car up from Speed Inc. tonight. Had them do a new 408 with a D1SC. Been reading in here for last month or so trying to soak it all in to be ready for the car but I still have a long ways to go. There are some awesome FI cars on here, I know I'm on the low range of the scale but there is always room to upgrade later. She made 635rwhp and 571rwtq @11.5 psi. Def gonna have to get used to driving this thing but I think it will be fun learning

Our emissions are just an OBD plug-in, so he'll pass no worries

Yep 93, I would say the cam is mild compared to some I've seen here. 228/236 .571 .578

Yeah I had the gauge from the old setup and just reused it. Kinda gettin crowded with all teh gauges now but it gives me something to look at sitting in traffic

Thanks for all the comments and compliments now to get some seat time in it and get used to the new power
