I definatly wanna go to the track sometime in May or April if my car is running good I'm just psyched to go and get some numbers but I'll definatly let everyone know, the more the better. As for the install I got some free time today between work and school and removed almost all of the intake part, its slow progress but I still Have to paint my FAST ntake manifold and get a few more little things so I'm not in a big hurry.

Don't worry at the pace you are going you will be ready to go by the end of the track season!

Anyways, no need to rush, just take your time and do it right the first time!

Good luck!
