Yeah, I knew that, but thanks for the tip.

Calm down, B!

I fired her up last night. It was late and I wasn't able to get a video. Sorry. Man, does she have a rowdy idle, too!! With the open headers, she sounds MEAN!!!!

I have an issue, though. It sounds like something is rubbing or hitting somwhere. There's a grinding noise, mostly noticeable when I shut it off or rev it up a little. The trans is bolted up, but the torque converter is not. At first, I thought the converter had vibrated against the flexplate and that was causing the noise, but the converter is still sitting snug against the trans. I looked for anything that may be rubbing or hitting anywhere, but there's nothing visible. I'm thinking maybe the starter could be the culprit. It may not be fully disengaging.

Anybody have any ideas?
