Put my throttle body on.

Low end is kinda meh...same as before. Once it's past 3 grand tho...it takes off. Half throttle is actually where it shines, sounds like a vacuum and it hits 3100 rpm and it feels like VTEC or some ****...you can actually feel it push you back in the seat starting at that RPM.

Sounds like i need a new tb. M1 does that too but with both i bet it would be awesome. That headers and sct and I'd be good for awhile. Once i have a 2nd vehicle I'll think about cam and 1.7s

Well if anybody's interested I took some videos of the sled pulls at our county fair this year. Best run yet, had over 30 trucks/tractors, hope they keep it up. Most of the videos are Mopars lol (too many to video). Merc and John, you guys in Canada must love Mopars, 6 of 7 Canadians had Mopars motors, one GM. Here's the link to my videos on youtube, thought itd be easier this way.

Well the threads on the light bar broke (partially my fault) and I noticed one of the round lights is made a little crooked. Both being sent back. Sorta bummed. But no big deal
