Welp, since my other thread got shut down, figured I would start another

I guess this would be a good time to thank everyone that helped out:

ECS: thanks for the support, advise, hooking me up on the small parts I needed to get her back on the road, and for parts at yalls cost if I need anything else for my sled! Doug, Chris, and Mike are truly a class act

HKE (Erik): for building my motor and spending a lot of time on the phone answering any questions I had and making sure the parts going into my motor were the best my money could buy

GSS and Jotech motorsports: for the dyno time and awesome customer service

FI section: for not letting me give up on the project (even though my wallet hates every single one of you)

Bret: the biggest thanks for getting everything situation, letting me keep my car at your house, assembly/tuning/tech support, for bein a great friend! Thanks a lot buddy

Drove the car today and did a 4th gear pull and didn't feel the vibration issue I was having. Next up on the chopping block is an alignment, new brakes, a bigger bov, and a catch can with a breather.

Good times bro. An absolute pleasure working on your toy.
Thanks for trusting me with your baby.

After Chaidan's, I'm putting mine back in my shop and then we can go play.
