Formula Progress in Nevada?

What's the story, Steve? Pics would be bonus.

Is anyone planning on going to Bakersfield June 2? The bugs are worked out of the headers amd thje car seems to be running great over here.

From the Nor-Cal / So-Cal thread:

Set off any car alarms with your new exhaust yet?

Bummer for Steve.

Only in the parking garage.

Funny thing with this exhaust is that below 2K RPM, the car sounds subtle. Over 3K, it's screaming.

Re: Formula Progress in Nevada?

Yeah, I just moved and the daily drivers need a few things so the Formula gets put aside for a little bit. I'm picking up the head gaskets and head studs on the 18th (cough, birthday is the 19th, cough). Then I need the cam and rockers to get it all put back together, but then I still need the 3,200 vigilante stall. I might just see how the stocker is for now though, see if it'll even go.

No, the stocker is good but I was told it might not want to idle or run right with it. I think I'll try it 1st and see though. It's not like it's hard to replace them anyway.
