Im going to have dual electric 3 inch cutouts right off the collector so it can sound like that whenever I want it to though
You shouldn't have to two-foot it around with an 1100 rpm. There are quite a few other adjustments to make for a large cam. My idle sits at 1000, to smooth the chop a little. It ran fine at 900 though.

Thanks guys.

The deal on the tune is that Allen Nelson sent me a mail order tuen basically for the new motor so its as close as he can get it on the first try through the mail. It is just enough to get me to TX then Im going to get him to tune it in person and hopefully drop the idle a bit more

Stewart you can have a ride when I give you your grille

Moregrip you have no idea how much I wanted to give up but hopefully things work out and no more issues Im not back in TX yet.

Im fixing to go to CurtD's shop in Birmingham to get him to make my y-pipe since none of the local shops could do it

Ill update the post with a sound clip of it through the corsa later tonight
