Headed up to the shop today, finally, so I could check her out in person.

They got the new Ridetech controller and cable installed and it is working great now.

After killing me with some idle chatter, intentionally making me wait while they bolted in the drivers seat, they fired her up. All I can say is holy sh*t. Man was it great to hear her again and boy is she LOUD. I mean LOUD. These Borla XR-1's are way louder then my Flowmaster Super 44's. Sounds like a race car The videos dont even come close to what it sounds like in person. With the AirBar and Shockwaves we had to dump right after the muffler which makes a huge difference. And with the tuning Chris did it just feels and sounds like a totally different motor.

My wife is going to hate it Sorry honey

We jumped in for a drive with Chris at the wheel, to reintroduce me to her, and he put her through the gears a few times. Damn was it a great ride. Pulls real hard and just screams when he punched it.

We had a a little problem with the cam spring on the carb sticking so we pulled over about a mile away to play with it, got back in and noticed she was already getting hot because the fan wasnt kicking on. We headed back to the shop and found the ground was loose.

Unfortunately I had to run and so did they so that was all... but damn was that fun. I was smiling ear to ear... and still am writing about it.

I was so damn excited I forgot to take any pic/video. Next week....
