What exhaust are you going to run?
I have a kooks ORY

Rhino79 is the ****.
He helped me and Shane last night with a ECM and a 4L80 segment swap for Shane's car. The file from HP tuners wasn't working right. Rhino79 was able to correctly do the segment swap and adjust tune tranny tune in no time at all.

The car feels like a jet


Good luck with your car Merv. Looks and sounds awesome.

Thanks guys. I got Exhaust on it, just to make it street friendly. We still got to adjust the Fuel, richer than hell..
I took it out last night, only brought it to half Throttle spurts, it breaks loose at 80+mph on the highway..

I need Slicks..
