    Its time baby!

    Well as luck would have it, my transmission decided it wanted to be retrofitted for Christmas. I didn't want to do it till after new years, but it said "I have been good to you since you treated the motor to the supercharger, and all you gave me was a stupid torque converter. Well now I want...
