Just keep working on it and dont let it overwhelm you, when I did the paint on my car I let it sit for like month before I put it together and then I was like **** this I really need to finish this and once I got to work it wasn't even bad, and I was super happy when I was done. You gonna get it tuned? How much power do u expect to put down?

Getting your own gun? That is sick! I'm looking to get it painted black, basically how my decal is.

Is your motor almost done?

i have a question.

well i keep hearing that my engine spun the bearing do to no back
pressure since i was running no muffler on it.

but im thinking of putting the slp lm1 resonator on it since i have two laying around.
wont this be the same crap as running it with out a muffler, since the resonator is
just a hallow tube?
will it produce back pressure?
