I am expecting it to be a dog down low, the cam card shows peak hp at 5900, peak torque at 4700.. starting shift point is 6500, and 6800 max

haha yea. Its all quality stuff from what i can tell. A little pissed i dident get any lube for the bushings, but oh well.

these control arms are upr's "BRAND NEW" version of there old ones. I saw it say "new" on one control arm, and the other dident say anything. The "new" ones say they changed the angle's or some ****.

the guy on the phone said they changed them a bit to plant the tires harder.


IDK, but we will find out i guess. Should be getting them on next week if i get the time, or the week after that.

then i gotta buy a new purge silinoid, as mines fryed and wont shut all the way, and then get the right fitting to run my incar gauge for the bottle pressure.

always something stupid.

once i get the suspension on though im hitting the track on a 100 shot. hoping for 12's at my elevation if i drive great, but more then likely a low 13 at a DA of 7000+
