Holy Freakin Christ. I just spent the last 2 hours fixing my up pipe exhaust leak. Now I have a leak at the downpipe to catback gasket... I'm about done with this damned car. Tomorrow I'm getting up at 5 to fix it. If I can't fix it... I don't know what I'm going to do.

No big deal. 380whp and 380wtq at 20psi on E85 at a mile of elevation. 

I'll post the dyno sheets tomorrow.

Both tunes were super conservative considering my stock block.

Thanks guys!

I haven't been on much lately, because I'd rather be driving 

Thing is unbelievable. Crazy part is the noise. I have so much interior drivetrain noise with absolutely no exhaust note. Our engines sound incredible on the group N mounts. And the rear diff outrigger mixed with botox bolts, mixed with group N engine mounts, mixed with TiC crossmember bushings... I can hear so many transmission noises, it's not even funny. I had to sound cliche, but the damned thing sounds like a rally car from the inside.... but quiet enough that I can have a conversation
