Pics to follow, I'm to f'n tired to wash, detail and take pics. Initial drive was good. Spools awesome. Boost comes on like a freight train. The turbos wail like banshees and the dual bov's will wake the dead. Hitting the rain locker. Holler later

Off of Tomball Parkway and Three Lakes. Right behind the Silverado 19.
