I've ridden in a V10 with his tuning and it was pretty impressive. Seems to wake them up quite a bit over stock.

That's good to know. Hopefully with the SCT X3, cold air intake, y-pipe and gibson cat back exhaust... it will be just fine.

haha, give or take. I know what day I have to be out of Iraq... just depends on how long I opt to stick around in Kuwait. I think I'll stop off in Germany for a few days before meeting up with GF and family in Ireland.

Contractor now. I was an Army Blackhawk helicopter mechanic.

Now I sit at a desk and buy things from Mike.
