To ERA Chas-I came back here at this time to apologize for what I viewed, upon overnight reflection, as some fairly snarky comments following you and Twin Turbo's previous posts. I do appreciate everyone's input and experiences related to these cars and don't want to either seem a know it all, which I readily admit I am not, or, as someone who can't be told anything constructive or helpful without reacting poorly. I stand 'hat in hand' so to speak.
I was simply trying to address you and Twin Turbo in one post and did not assume your friend's car was equipped with such. The devil is in the details as they say and your post led me to believe your friend was unaware or surprised by the effect of the restrictive, small block intended exhaust and made changes after discovering that it was indeed a problem. One of those things that can be read into apparently. Maybe only by me, lol. After your and others advisement on the matter it will be an issue that I am at least now aware of. From what decooney says in his post following yours, my engine builder is also aware of it and that's a good thing. Appreciate you trying to educate me on the matter.

decooney-Hi Duane..I have to say that ERA Chas' post to me a couple days ago was the first I had heard of the exhaust issue. Honestly, I think the length of time it has taken to procure this car has put my patience to the test. Just seems like everything has taken longer than I ever counted on and it's making me a little nutty at this point in what now has been a 17 month process. I'm sure you just read my mea culpa to ERA Chas after reacting poorly to something I really wasn't prepared to hear, another potential issue. Fortunate to have Tom on my side and confident a solution to this potential problem would be found. Thanks for weighing in.

Car is supposed to be running next week so....light at the end of the tunnel? On that news I'll take the pistol away from my head, lol.
