Thumbs up Just finished my H/C swap

I put in the MS3, and self ported LS6 heads. I am a 6spd car and this thing def needs a tune. It doesnt like to cruise at 1800 rpm range, there it surges pretty bad. Hopefully a tune will fix that. I have to get some headers later when I get back from deployment but for now I ported the hell out of the stock manifolds and gutted the cats. It sounds REALLY good. My cheap camera I cant upload video onto my PC so I will have to wait until my friend gets back tomorrwo to use his. Then I will throw up a short vid. Cam is def a PITA to drive right now.

EDIT:
Heres a clip from a cheap dig camera thingy

Vid is sweet. That sounds great through the stock manifolds! I had idle problems and all kinds of stuff up to 3200 rpm. But mine is a tad bigger!
