She's going in tomorrow....

Doing the SF Turbo tomorrow. Everyone please pray for us.

We were gonna do it in my friends garage, but we now have a full mechanics garage with all tools and a compressor, but no lift. No big deal tho.

Can't wait. I hope it all goes smoothly.

i am hoping it will be done by 5pm today. I don't want it to carry over to Sunday. Me and some knowledgeable friends are doing the install. Not paying to have it done.

I will get it dynoed and tuned at Outlaw Motorsports down here.

No lift = so many more hours...Best of luck man...The crowning touch for sure..

ya, but that's not what I wanted to match cause that color is being changed. I think I would have preferred #4 I think it was. But it's all good.
