well, they seemed to have raised the *** up a lil bit, but I kinda like it. It was a dead even drop so the fenderwells in the front and back were dead even with the ground.... Now, the *** is slightly higher. Looks mean as hell IMO. Tomorrow I test drive it when I get the catback on. Too many over eager city cops here to play with just an open o/r X on it. Even touhg it sounds kickass! I'll update with performance tomorrow....

Get some DR's.... In the next two months, I plan on purchasing a shift kit and a trans cooler and having my subframes installed. After that it's a PI intake and a 100 shot. By next winter. I hope to have a 2600 stall convertor and some DR's on this bad boy. I'll crack the 12's with no problem. I'm excited for next year!

I'm a magnaflow man myself. They make great quality and great sounding systems for nearly everything.... They own a small piece of my soul. That and who doesn't love Mario Andretti????

I have some nitto nt555r's set up if I want to buy them, but Im sure they are ****ty in rainy or snowy weather, not that it really matters because the car is going to suck in snow either way.

I guess since I wont be spraying off the line the DR's might get the job done. I guess we will see.

Took her for a short drive today, with and without the catback on. The cops came by again right after I shot a quick sound clip The CA's seem to be pretty helpful. The rear end feels stiffer but rides very smoothly. After Xmas break, I will take the car back to the track to see real results.
