The LZ9 MGB is finally running

It has been a while but I finally got to take the MG out. The tuning still needs work but is drivable. The 3.89:1 rear gear is too much with the small diameter tires and I want to change it at some point. A 3.23:1 or so would be a huge improvement. It is fairly easy to take off in 3rd gear.

It does sound a little different doesn't it?

Edit: It's not your speakers... it sounds like pretty much like that.
Here's what it sounds like inside the car.

The cam has 260/264 duration .562 lift & 110 LSA. The exhaust is BCC shorty headers into about 30" long 2" pipes that merge into a 2.5" cheapy turbo muffler with a 18" long straight tailpipe.

It is fun to drive. Punch the pedal at 1500 rpm in second gear and it breaks the tires loose. It's cool but the kind of car that can get me in trouble.
