Wink I just got blown!!!!!!

I finally picked up my car from the shop and love the whining noise that my new Kenne Bell 2.6L gives out!!!! Too bad they closed down the local track last week! I still got a few kinks to work out. I don't like the way the transmission shifts. Does so very softly, almost like stock or worse. Its also eating up a lot of fuel, although I credit part of that to me trying out my new toy! I now have also a very very empty wallet that is going to take me a couple of months to recover. Once it does, header and dyno tune are on their way!!!!

Awesome man! Get some pictures of that beast up stat! Also, how much did you pay for the whole setup (SC, gauges, installation, ect.)?

If you've never been in a whippled car, then the KB has a noticable whine, but once I went with the whipple, I can't even hear my buddy's KB when I ride in his car anymore.

Boost is fun. Start another savings for tires and brake pads...
