				| Yea, sorry i forgot to put that in there. Also did the Monroe shocks and struts, they couldn't get the kyb's like i wanted but it still seems to ride very nice. also redid the front sway bar end links to poly style. |  |

				| Those three changes together should have made a big difference. Have you taken her out and given her a good thrashing? What do you think?

				| Sensatracs are "supposed" to be their best. But be glad if you didnt get them. I tried them, felt great for awhile, but they wore out very fast.. about 6months.  Their normal ones should last alot longer. |  |

 That's your fault for breaking your car and missing the '09 dyno.

 Funny thing is.... Thats what the instructors said as they came to take a look at it to

 Hopefully we have something a little closer this way in the near future so we can fix this problem

				| Yup dyno's around the corner and I'm hoping to have my 327 in by then but who knows what the future holds  I hate being broke. And with school and everything else that was going on down here I just couldn't make it up there, does it count if i say I really wanted to ? |  |
