it feels really good especially on the highway. we loosened the converter a hair so it should launch just as hard.

Shawn cuts low 1.3's with the 3.42's and a 3800 stall so you should be at least there, hopefully a 1.2!

Attention to detail, that's getting it done right there!! Nice work!!

The cooler is a great idea using the available space

I would speculate that a lot of cars are having leaks at the intake gaskets now that they are approaching 10 years plus, something you rarely see mentioned here.

That is so clean!

And WOW 127 lb injectors!

I like the full sealing of the radiator to get full air through the radiator!

I am really looking forward to the tuning results too!

Excellent work and attention to detail!

Thanks,Matt
