I dorove it you around the yard at work today and this thang is pretty fast. I should probly take a bit more timming out of it the only proble is I have to loosen the injector lines to be able to spin it more, not fun. I just have to put coolant in it and put the hood on and its done.

yea, we dont have a krispy cream here, all we have is a shell station, a bp station, a chevron, a dollar genaral, and a family dollar right beside of each other, a save-a-lot, old times cafe which is our only resterant in town, and a high school, not very much in our small little town.
