The car pulls like a **** in the upper rpms. It's got a pretty smooth torque curve as well. Im still fine tuning the computer with the new HPTuners software, trying to get the idle nice and smooth and i still have to tune cruise and WOT. Once this is done it's dyno time. If you wanna here what it sounds like I got some vids of the first startup Here

I have friend coming up from Houston to help me install my Futral F4 next weekend. He has done this before and the first thing he said was if I come and help you cannot argue with me about removing the hood. I said fine as I had already heard that it can be done w/o removing the hood but it was a PITA.

I can't wait.
