Default Drove my C3 First Time in 9 weeks...

And that car is godawful loud! I drove the C5 for past 9 wks in VA while I vacationed/worked out in the Northern 'hill' country. I started the C3 up and man does that car rumble.

I gotta get it to the tuner since I have made some major changes since the last Dyno run (headers, new/true duals, DART Iron Eagle heads, carb rebuilt, gaskets/seals). Prior to this change, I was getting 190rwhp...
