    Still waiting on my temporary plates and my mc number confirmation letter. Hopefully get it tomorrow or first part of the week. I need some money! Lol.

    And man, lol don't start with the trans replacement talk already. What's the price difference between a 13 vs. an 18 spd?

    Well first load went good. It pulled And felt good. now, the only problem is I have a random miss Under acceleration. No real rhyme or reason to when it happens. But usually after grabbing a gear and easing into it, it sounds like it's missing on 1 or 2 cylinders, then other times it pulls through the rpm band clear. We stopped at a mechanic shop and he said 1 or 2 injectors are sticking. So, that being said, what's the recomendation? Stock replacements? C15s? Other? now it's set at 550/1850, and I'd like to use every bit of it and more if I can with an injector swap.
