Thanks guys..

I am going to see if I can get it to idle down a little closer to 1,100. I haven't had time to really nail the tune yet and driving it open headers/18" extensions is not the best for my hearing.. No insulation in the cab seems to help make it VERY LOUD in side!!! I gave it 3/4 throttle after getting the windshield back in (drove it 1 mile away to do that), I thought my ear drums were going to burst.
