Yea, I have to say the open wastegates are pretty sick and I know a # of people that just love the sound. BUT let me tell you, they can be LOUD as heck from the outside of the car...

As for the TD, I think that helped considerably in getting my #'s on a stock block.

Pat, I love the look of you car man, and can't wait to get my damn engine done this month and put installed along with all of the other stuff. How does driving on almost 600 whp feel?

It feels good until you get used to it. You saw the movie Firefox with Clint Eastwood? Remember when he stole the jet and he was like, "Let's see what this baby can do." He didn't think much of it until he looked in the rear view and saw how he was raping the countryside with the sound waves. That's how I feel. I go around someone to pass, put my foot down, look into the rear view mirror and wonder where all the cars went!!!??? Oh sheet!!!! Slow down before MoCo get me!!!
