I have done 3 Bostigs and got 4 more in the lineup over the next several
months..
Sweet easy deal as far as I am concerned as long s its in a stick..Not going
to do another automatic...Not a good fit in my PERSONAL opinion...Need
sevearl more gears in that tranny to make it right..But then I may be
spoiled or too picky or some such...YMMV...
TEC shop and I are in cahoots at times and have gotten together and fine
tuned some of the small details involved. They do a nice clean professional
job of it..

exhaust to block.he is off to alaska with it. I know more when he returns
