Damn, wonder when and how that happened? You could just about order a patriot head for that much, but I'm assuming you're just ready for it to all be running, not worrying about the install or anything. Well, I hate to say it, but it's just another drop in the pail. At least you'll have a working car soon.

PLEASE, don't take it for any runs this time until you get it fine tuned. Promise?

We don't want a repeat of the last several months.

Awesome dude, glad to hear it's almost ready. Get that thing tuned and get to the track!
