Hell yeah man Replacing the opti is an easy gremlin to chase down.
Kinda makes me wish I had put a new cap and rotor on while mine was out LMAO

That's the way these things work, no big deal. You'll have it back next week
and once you've buried your foot into the carpet, you'll forget all about the delay.

Seems to be a pretty common sentiment amongst those who've done a few.

I think your 420 goal is very much within reach
Might lose a little with the S60 though

That definitely looks like 400+ even after you swap the rear. Great numbers so far!

man, Speed Inc doesn't mess around about getting work done.

I am sure the new opti will help the #'s some. looks like it craps out at 6000 RPM and thge HP #'s should keep climbing to 6400 RPM os so once all the bugs are worked out.

Sounds good too.
