Great sound there Paul. I'd be willing to bet those are Flowmasters.  Had it on the dyno yet?

Even though I have chambered exhaust, I'm still partial to that distinct sound of the Flowmasters.

Now get that bad boy to the track and get us a 1/4 mile et. You might force me to turn my NOS on. LOL

BTW, at what RPM did you reach your maximum HP & TQ?

Bladenboro is about 90 miles southeast of Cary. My daughter goes to college at UNC Chapel Hill. I'm actually closer to Lumberton, (I-95) but have a Bladenboro address.
