    and we have a winner! good job man!

    who did the engine work?

    with the adjustable FPR and bigger injectors it doesnt seem like your too concerned with fuel economy, but ill say it anyway, with the 80 degree thermostat you'll probably use a bit more fuel, unless the giac chip can factor it in. (other wise its always going to think its not hot enough, like its just warming up so its gonna run rich like at idle, you know?)

    It could definitely do with some polish and shoe polish for the bumpers

    Glad you got it running guys.
