Thumbs up Dead Even

Hey guys tonite HOSS and I ran em, we were on I85 and went from about a 60 roll. We took off pretty even, I might have got a little jump on him but from there on it was dead even. We let off at about 120 b/c the fear of tha po'pos. Props to Ben and his beast. Cant wait till the TC man.

You wont hate it after the converter. It will shoot to 5k and pull like it does at 20mph The best part is the 2-3 shift-it rocks
