Hi Jeff, 
        Great to hear!

I’ll have the Stainless exhaust and the 2.3 and big brake kit just in case I need the stopping power.

Actually, my drives were more concerned about my brakes then my engine power! 

Maybe once complete I’ll be able to keep up with you.  Though as a automatic I plan to take it easy.
