You are correct patience is the main thing; and that is something I should work on. That is very generous of you to offer assistance all the way down here in San Diego! Have you done the swap yourself? Did you do a hybrid, full 3l, or port matched?
I am leaning towards a hybrid for smog reasons hear in CA. Maybe I can pass the visual if I have the stock heads and intakes...?
On the bright side if you could come down here for the swap you would have one awesome drive taking the PCH all the way down!
