[92AWDHX40]

Yep it is

 

[92AWDHX40]

Well erl set up with my new hx40. And turbolab exhaust housing, couldn't see spending 400 for a .70 housing. So turbolab. 82 was the best for me. Getting a dump made. A exhaust pipe is getting done. I'm curious on how much lag it will be. The whole car is built from top to bottom.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Well today i ordered a new 525 walbro fuel pump to replace the 450, it only had idle miles on it so its up for sale soon. I also ordered my last sway bar link moog from rock auto.
