Haha, yep! Before it started to pull hard around 3200rpm, now it's around 2500. The thing tapered from 3" to 1.75-2". The exhaust is way meaner above 3500rpm. I blew some minds yesterday telling them it has a straight six

I just ordered some AVS window vents, hopefully they keep the wind from whipping around the cab going down the highway.

On another note, it seems that my overheating issues from last summer are gone. I was sitting in traffic today at about 75 degrees and the temp gauge barely hit above the 210 mark. I didn't even have to run the auxiliary fan

I did an oil change last weekend and finally got a WIX filter back on it. Parts Master sucks, dry start every time. Anyways, something's on its way out. If I drive it around for a while it loses oil pressure (if the gauge is correct). But it isn't leaking oil nearly as bad, and I'm using regular 10w-30, so that's a plus I guess. I noticed the oil I grabbed last time was synthetic so that explains why it did leak so badly So now I'm waiting for a quart to leak out so I can put in some Lucas to see how that does.

Before all of that happened though, I bought a set of AVS window vents, so I'm gonna have those this week

Yeah, pretty much. I had one MTZ that was wearing way too fast so I threw these on.

Yeah. The other three tires are doing really well though. If I had to guess low I'd guess they're at 90% tread?
