That is great. The car sounds good too. Its a great feeling to take it out for a drive after so much work and just know that it is alive. :D

It was exhilarating driving it - it got some funny looks only about 1/4 mile from my house. I can't wait to take it around everywhere!

I will tell you though - based on the minimal amount of driving so far, the 2.9L is way torquier than the 2.5

With or without the vette wheels ?

Gosh, sounds like a bigger engine than a 535 even... It's fascinating hearing the turbos whine.

Yep - got the weld rears on in that video - waiting on the spacers for the fronts

As for when I get rowdy with it... well, still need to get my exhaust made and new ECU in. Then it gets SERIOUS.

Sounds good. When, as you said, you have it set up right it should howl :D Bet your neighbours are pleased you were taking it very easy and hadnt decided to fit a silly dump valve
