LOL nice Tig. I was wondering why the car felt so smooth. I thought it was just "THAT GOOD" of a kit and that is why it was so well behaved. Whoops. I'll keep you posted on how things go with the car. Is someone selling a upgraded spring or is it something that will need to be fabricated (as I imagine since you sent out to Sharrif).

Gus, thanks for helping out on this. Question about the DynoJet and Mustang... what is the difference that makes the horsepower numbers change? I know that there is something likea 12% difference between a Dynojet and Mustang that makes dynojet look higher. Just curious why. Anyhow I sent you a PM with my phone number if you need to get a hold of me. Nice to know I've got two guys there to work with.

vinh- all those T's look kinda dangerous. all that weight and vibration from the motor could cause that one small fitting in the block to break. I've seen it happen. If it breaks, i'm sure you know what will happen..
It would be best if you run a short braided line from the block and T it off from there. Then secure the fittings on the block or frame of the car.

like how this picture illustrates:
