You could hear audible detonation. Jimmy just started jerking on the steering wheel and kept the gas pedal floored, "YES!!! YES!!!" "Jimmy, STOP, LET OFF THE GAS" "YES!!! YES!!!" "JIMMY STOP" "YES!!! YES!!!"

EDIT
this is the message he sent me
next opening is the 27th, don't know if Justin told u but ITB tune is going to be expensive and take quite a while to get it good, it could take up to 20hrs to get them perfect
I have played around with them a little and they are a pain in the *** for part throttle driveability, so price is going to start at $400, I will work for some time for this amount but depending on finiky they are it could be more
