thanks everybody!!!!

i got it out this weekend and did some tuning yesterday.......put a few miles on it and got it broken in nice nice............feels really strong even blowing through the Y pipe........good thing is the shift extension seems to be alot better with the big converter now......a 8000rpm 2nd gear shift is putting me at about 6600 in third.........which is great......keeps me right in my peak power band now........hopefully gonna hit the track next weekend and see what it will do
