my super charger does the same thing on deceleration i think it has something to do with low vacume when gearing down not sure.

It's more raspy and nasal now, whereas the Bullets on stock manifolds was just pure musclecar rumble. The drone has also gone from mild to rattle-body-panels-ridiculous. I'm going to have to drive it some more and see,
but I suspect the Tis may be going back on.

Well, what have you decided? Get used to the Drone and all around difference in the sound? How are the 8+ month old Mods treating you now?

The only thing that could induce me to remove the Bullets would be an STS setup.

The car is much more grin-inducing than it was stock. Occasionally I miss the smoothness and sophistication of the stocker, especially when just tootling down the freeway at traffic speed. But whenever I drive in a more entertaining fashion; oh yeah! Making "engine music" with it is just tremendous fun.

It actually doesn't seem that loud anymore. I'm looking forward to what it will sound like with more power. It's conceivable it will get "too loud" at some point so I'm keeping the Tis.

I just had the next round of mods done, new brakes and suspension plus a little bling. Next up is the clutch, and once that is done I will take it back to the track and see what it does with the 295 Pilot Sports instead of the old runflats.

Overall, I'd have to say that it's committed to the "hot rod" path now.

The car continues to amaze.
