    Kudos well deserved !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have just done two upgrades to my car at the same time. So far the best $150 I've spent on upgrades. I had my throttle body bored from stock to 62-65mm by Jay Jackson (by the way great job Jay) and I put the RJC Power Plate on the intake manifold. What a difference!! I'm running a TE-60 with...
