What the heck is a "TROP DENUT NOITCEJNI"? Look at your throttle body cover plate. Why is it backwards?

Hahaha! very good question my friend.

It is because it is taken with a cell phone camera,
and the pictures the camera takes are mirrored..

I dont know why it takes 'em that way, But I does
its job, just use your best judgement

LOL thanks for the new wallpaper! Choke is right...I can do massive burnouts all day long, but after 3500 or so, forget about it. Although the hooker 2055's and 3 inch exhaust seemed to help out ALOT. Cam is next for me, then I'll be happy.
