DDM Stage II first impressions

1. Outstanding Customer Service - Dave and Randy went out of theri way to get everything I needed done in time.
2. Car is fast - 0-60 run with 2 200+ occupants, RSA's and no wheel spin - 4.8 seconds
3. Very Drivable
4. On ramps are a riot, you have to let off the gas to keep from running into the traffic that was going passed you on the highway when you start your acceleration
5. 70 MPH passing in 5th gear - 1/4 throttle or so gives you 6 lbs of boost and 90+ speeds in seconds
6. Gas milage inproved from 25-26 MPG to over 29.

Simply stated "I love it!"

I'm not being impatient, I'm waiting for my kit. Sorry for the confusion, not being an a-hole.

And I'm not being impatient waiting for my kit either, just trying to line everything up right now. Car is down until I get the kit.
