your engine is an air pump after all. It sucks air in and blows it out. What's it supposed to sound like? A baby peeing it's pants?

Very good.. I have the heads off getting freshened up, redoing the suspension a bit and adding some LT's, and maybe a couple little tricks here and there.

I'll be doing some Open Tracking with it this year, should be some great fun!!!
