So far I've learned that motors built for boost (i.e. low compression) do not feel very strong when N/A! Lol. This thing needs boost in order for it to be much fun.

Apparently! 
Could be alot of other factors as well including compression...
I did I did!! She's back to normal now...I did in the process of screwing around with O2's strip one of the bung's on my stock Y-pipe... Should of just left that O2 in there but it was fighting me and I eventually WON!!
But it was a hollow victory once I looked at the threads 
Anyways, I'm in the middle of switching the brakes back to stockers, will be taking the front brakes up to Wilwood in the morning. This sucks!

Well I got the stock ones on and went for a little test drive...didn't feel like bedding the pads because A: They are the same pads and rotor combination as before when I took them off and B: The truck is loaded up with stuff, from brakes to stereo equipment to god knows what. Tomorrow is a dedicated truck day, hope to get the windows tinted and maybe get some ideas about what to do about my in-dash TV. Gonna stop by Richards at WCCH to say hello and cause trouble!
I love visiting them, they are always up to trouble! 
Talked with a buddy of mine and he's gonna give me his Resonator from his Dodge Ram and I'm gonna stick that behind the muffler to kill the noise a little with the cut-outs closed.
All in all I got alot done today, hope the news on the brakes is good.
On a screwy note...noticed that I'm leaking ATF out of the rear seal!

My truck sounds like a DIESEL!! 
Here's a short WOT run with them open, I've come to terms with the fact that there's no way any camera mic will really record what this truck sounds like...might try it from a distance so the mic doesn't get so distorted!
