Good job, I knew you would get it. So how much torque does it have?

Havent played with it much at all man to tell you the truth. Its hard to tell cause I have to two foot it everywhere for off-idle-torque comparison. It moves my heavy *** truck pretty good though. Ill give a more in depth overview of the motor tomorrow. Gotta stick a wideband on it and make sure Im not going lean and then play with it a bit. Dont have too much time to enjoy it right now cause I gotta pack and get ready to go back to Texas. Man I cant wait to get back to my friends and a social life again
