Engine revs on its own, special tuner feature, available for an additional $300.

Actually, pics shows idle at 700ish, where it always is.

5" tube goes on this week, waiting on powdercoating dood, who is color matching tube and box to red MSD coil packs.

Damn tuner wants me to drive to Orlando for dyno pulls, 6-hour round trip, $500 to him and $250 in fuel and $30 tolls and $30 Skoal and $100+ lunch for all--I am requesting a remote tune, as IMO 25% more air into engine can be done on a computer.

My first car, Olds Cutlass with 350 Rocket, got my first year at community college, was a single-digit baby, had to get rid off it, as was destroying my beer budget.

More baller you if it grenades because you can't be bothered to get an actual hands on tune. I hope your tuner says no to the remote. If he does not, I suggest you consider another tuner.
