Sounds like you have one mean car on your hands...

Sounds & looks cool great E.G.!

With everything you're doing, I'm thinking you have more than 24 hours in one day down there in Florida! I'm looking forward to vids on the road.

EG, why did you place the BOV right before TB? Why isn't closer to the Novi Head unit, like the way ECS has done it, in order for the boost not go back to head unit when TB closes?

Sounds like a mean car!

Stephen there is no stealth with that setup and I just love the sound with that huge cam and the exhaust note was just like a monster waiting to be released, congrats on getting the Grond running and we can not wait to see this new monster finished
