BTW, here's a pic of it together. Hopefully Darren will finish dyno tuning it this week and I can start putting it in the car next weekend. I'll let him keep it as long as he needs it to get it perfect though.

Looks good but I didn't see an a/c compressor anywhere on it.

Thanks Billy. I'm pretty excited that I'll have her back on the road before too long, she's been down since November. It was never tuned before either, so its going to be waaaaaay faster now too. 220 hp and 7500 RPM in a 1600 lb car should be pretty fun :dance:
