Thanks. I still need to do some work and check it for drivability, oddball behavior and then build a proper file for it. Thank you all for cheering us on!

Get well soon

Can I bolt the X51 intake manifold (+plenum +TB +header +tune) on without modifying the heads or else would it create too much turbulence without having the X51 ported heads?

Thanks guys. It's just the run of the mill flu; I took the afternoon off but it's killing me not knowing how the thing drives so I'm headed in, albeit a bit slowly. I shall report more later this AM.

Flu has been bad in Florida this winter. John, We need you back on your feet.
Car sounds great.

This is bigger than any one person John - you need to get some tamiflu and get back in the shop and fight!

OH MY GOODNESS this thing rips over 5K RPM!! It's actually a little scary which is all I ever wanted. The noise level is actually not as bad with the PSE closed; when open, it's rather loud. The torque down low is solid via the headers and flywheel. The X51 we know shines over 5K RPM via the porting, manifold and cams so everything is behaving as expected and I'm still on the stock tune!! At the end of the day, these cars should make so much top end that you're afraid to run it to the RPM cut and now I finally have what I wanted.

John, can you review what has been done to it from scratch. I know you have different stages but would like a rehash of this one. My ears are perked
