Ya I got the hall pass this time around so my tech is done and stickers ready to go. Still need to be there early to prep the car since I'm in the first group though. I really like Thill but it is a pain driving out there...

I have no car, I can still transfer if someone wants to a driving school spot. I'll give it for free as long as whoever takes it pays the transfer $15. Need to know soon.

About 12-15 ft-lbs all the way under the curve. Partial throttle feels a lot more responsive and power curve comes on a lot smoother.

Definitely feels better than back when I had the Emanage ultimate. I took that off a while ago and have been running stock.

The alignment is nice as well...
