The Stealthbomber's Back!! (post rebuild giddiness)

Forgive me, but I have to sing with joy. (Lucky you, there is no wav file attached!) My 87 SPG was released from the shop this morning after a motor and tranny rebuild. (Cracked piston made engine rebuild necessary, which seemed good time to rebuild tranny. 250 to 300k on orig motor, tranny and turbo.) She has a break-in period, of course, but it is a pure delight to get her back. Driving a stock 87T loaner for the last 2+ weeks makes me really appreciate the tighter feel of the SPG, and the difference between the loaner and my high-boosting SPG is simply exhilerating (sp?).
PREPARE TO LAUNCH CATAPULT. YEEHAW!!!
(Sorry. Like I said, I'm pretty excited to get the Stealthbomber back.)
Please move to the right, because WE'RE BAAACK.
Jim Watts
87 SPG: The Stealthbomber
Modestly modified: newly rebuilt motor and tranny (with upgraded pinion!!), modified APC, AID, open K&N, sport exhaust, 3.0 FPR, 24 lb injectors, and braided steel brake lines. Boosting 7/8 red and holding >1/2 red.
