    Thanks! My neighbors have been so awesome about this. That said, I have already ordered Gas-n pipes to try and tone it down a bit. And yes, it looks like I can hit 60 in that space. It is FAST!

    Thanks man! And thanks for helping me so much! I really can't believe how cool my neighbors have been. I couldn't help myself on that first drive, but I will try and chill out a bit until I can get a little further away.

    Congrats on that first ride. You did a great job diagnosing the timing chain issue, and none of it was easy.

    Keep up the good work, Glen
