Picked up the car, and all I can say is "whoa baby"! It's BEAST!

This is not for the weak of heart; definitely a performance mod. If you don't want 3500 @ 70 mph, more in-cabin noise, etc., it's not for you. If you want your power band available right now, it's sweet.

Hoping to race a little on Thursday night.

Nice! I'm curious about the increase in cabin noise: is it just from having higher RPM at the same speed? I think the solution for us DD-ers for highway speeds at lower RPM is to get the 5th gear setup from an '03-ish Matrix/Vibe 5-speed.
