Live and learn. Too bad it has to be the hard way sometimes. I dropped a plug in one of my old cars and did not find it till I crashed it. It poped out then.

man this sucks, and i was so proud of how we got it running, it's such a fun car now, and we weren't even really doing any performance stuff, just dialing it in. i got some more tools now, i really wanted to smooth it out completely. let me know if you need a scan once you're done putting the beast together, we can give it a 'health inspection'

heh, there's not much to hear, this baby's smooth! under 1500rpm you can hear it loping, but after that, you won't hear the cam, just the headers. yesterday i drove around in a big header/no cat car with a stock 99 cam, and it sounded only slightly less angry at cruise speeds.

Bring it! I would love to see how much she pulls on me. Nice work on the tune then. Man am I behind. I still need headers. I am far from a cam still. Oh well, headers are in the works. Hopefully in the fall or earlier.

not sure...no word from the shop yet..Actually I want to pull the trans now that the top bolts on the bellhousing are easily accessable and put in a looser converter. One problem...I don't have a converter to replace it with.
