    Just tuned one of these tonight, pretty fast car, it makes me want another fbody,

    Looks like someone was in the pcm before, after the tune it just got better, sotp was very noticable, which is always a good thing.

    After the final tune though, the damn sc belt broke , oh well it was fun while it lasted,

    on the way back to the shop, a v6 camaro was trying to mess with the driver, lol, little did he know, he's lucky i guess.

    just letting you know i do fbody tuning as well, hehehe,

    Man, that is one car I miss that I wish I still owned. I had a 1998 Z28 A4 and it was a nasty bitch stock. It was a factory freak...pulled a C4 like nothing, beat an M5 BMW, a built 5.0, the list went on and on. Ah well, mistakes are made and that is water under the bridge now.
