well if u drive in traffic at all you would kill yourself! trust me, any other guys with standards will agree...i mean think about it...with the clutch engaged i am directly 'connected' to the engine so when your driving in traffic at a crawl the damn thing is bucking all over the place because of the aggressive idle...i have that problem with my truck if im going through a parking lot slowly or stuck in traffic on the way home from work...

at least with a converter it helps take out some of the jerking...

I never have done things quite ordinary...a turbo is the eventual plan, and this is a good cheap choice for boost, also the total bill for this swap was around 350 bucks...not counting the trip to kyles house to install it, and the dinner for him helping me, and i still owe him 1 gasket. So maybe 425.

Agreed, cruising it, the motor sounds alot healthier. Also accel. SOUNDS (not really looks) impressive haha

I dont think a big cam would be bad i dont really see ALOT of traffic. But it has moments where it really sucks.

Why you gotta break my *****...work is slow right now...we will see how the tax season goes...and if work picks up.

Also, a guy gave me a ricer fly by last night, so i caught him (top of third) 120ish, then passed him and just kept it going, 5500 in 4th which equates to with the 3.23 and saying the calculator i used is correct 147mph hahaha...it started to vibrate so i let out of it. But was real smooth.

useless rant over.
