Default Big thanks to......
MYSELF!!! Just want to say thanks again to myself for giving myself such great service, I had a really good experience with myself. Myself was really professional and took the time to do things right and for that, myself rocks!!!

Actually I do have a small thanky list:

Larkins - thank you for lending me your hospitality
Gray (aka boob) - thank you for the lift and the shuttle service and the occasional turn of the wrench
Jason - wrenchin
Raf - wrenchin
Beer/****
LME - go get yer motor cleaned/fixed up there
And anyone who gave me shuttle service or offered a hand

Since people just love pics, here's some from the build, enjoy! Anyone know a good tuner???

Yeh, I pinched pennies for the last 2.5 months, but it did turn out nicely!

If yer talkin bout the bellows, I think you can get it from O'Reilly stores, but you have to order a length of it and it's pricey, I got it from a buddy along time ago that had some extra length laying around.

So far it feels great around town, seems alot less sensitive down low, most likely from the increase in airflow. Couple more heat cycles and we'll see what some generous throttle holds in store!
