i made it through 1500 miles and so I decided to finally race this mazda6 today. the sound was like nothing ive ever heard from my car. it was like a vtech but less ricey. anyway i spanked him from a dig and at a 50 mph roll on the highway. im very happy. ill be on the dyno in a couple weeks and i will run that compression test for u sebba

thanks man. i have a few oproblems myself. all my o2 sensors r bad and i either have a bad intake manifold gasket or a vacuum leak according to some of the other cool guys on this forum. the head job really seemed to make a huge difference cuz id get walked on the highway by most cars before the rebuild so i know what its like
