Oh of course!! I know you should name a car with a female name but mine is called Lee Majors. Its being built better, bigger, stronger, faster, haha. We are doing a nice 403 with a good amount of boost. Maybe in the 14 to 16# range, if that much is needed. It should be in the high 700's if not in the 800's at the wheel when complete.

So the bump on your head doesn't hurt? You know, the one you got when you fainted from the estimate?

Yeah I knew that estimate wouldn't stay the same for long. In one day it went from around 8K to 12K with the new clutch and fuel system. I must have been really really good this year to get all of this for Christmas.

It's only money.

BTW: My wife would tell you all that stuff is about $1,500. I have no idea where she got that number.
