Default new A&A installed!

JUST picked up my 2004 with TSP longtubes , stock "type" mufflers, Howards "mild" cam and ten pounds of boost from the a&a system I installed... delivered on a roll back, to the tuner. Today I drove it home, ...OMG- Holy #$%^... tool cool of a day to punch it at 60 with even super sticky tires.... again at arrest me speed... I guess I need to learn to drift a vette at 150mph!!! Hand are shaking, smile hurts and is ripping the corners of my face. Stomach hurts from laughing, I guess this is what heaven feels like! If you have doubts about a build, DONT, just get the blower, cam, pipe system. Then try not to wreck or lose your license, just grin at the muscle car next to you, and know... ...WOW... I need to go rest now... hahahahhahaahaha!

Congrats, I remember that first day still myself, it's a magical moment when you let her loose for the first time. The cool thing is your milage won't suffer to much, of course that's a month or too down the road.
