I actually saw a Petro Canada with 94 already Im pretty sure it was at Bloor and Keele

and the build is looking good.

alright guys maybe you can help me out car was running great then on the way home from work today i had power then out of now wher ei had zero power....radio turned off gauges zeroed out and the dash lit up like a christmas tree then 2 seconds later i got power back and the car came back to life like nothing happened..it did this twice...got home looked under the hood couldnt see anything out of the ordinary...looked under the car and there was a few oil spots which is a biggie but at the same time is an easy fix of tightning the bolts better or reseating the entire thing....iv also been told the car is running rich cause when i give it gas it gives out black smoke out of the tailpipe and the inside of the pipe is not black and never used to be....any ideas on what my cut out issue may be???

Check all your grounds, my old car did this allot. My grounds kept corroding, or the screws would back off causing a short. This is especially important for the ground that is right beside where your catch can is just before the strut tower.

Also make sure you dont have any wires shorting against your EGR tube, as this short could cause the same thing...the MAF wires can do this believe it or not. I basically had to re wire 1/2 my electrical harness in my old car because of this...amazing how these thin wires can heat up and basically melt all the wires around them...

Check your battery terminals and connections like the ground etc for the cutting out problem, As for funny noises you need to get it checked out as for an exhaust leak unless you changed anything you would of heard it before.

Sorry to hear about your problems ... but LOL at the lack of filtering - kinda refreshing.

Does the f**ked up noise change with engine speed, or vehicle speed, throttle position - any change in performance ?? Obviously no DTCs otherwise I guess you would have mentioned it.
