Will be watching the 'for sale' forum.

Looking forward to a good deal on the sway bars and shock mounts.

I still got an oil cooler. Ignore me like normal.

And what the hell one day you're buying a built engine, now you're building one? Or you already buy and sell the one you bought?

AEM, I've never been a fan of the haltec software. the aem is also more popular so the odds of finding a base map are better.
