I wish you were in Orlando. Im sure if I got in a car with John's tune, I'd probably go spend the money I dont have on it haha.

Im just worried about warranty as the dealer cant see it but SoA likely can, in the event of a major failure I take to them.

How are the Tein springs treating you? What differences did you notice with them? Are you experiencing the bogging issue w/ the intake?

Can you tell me why you chose those specific tires and how much they cost?
thanks.

I wanted a softer compound that would hook up well...I'm not drifting the car so that's why I chose the Yokohamas...

@Visconti, will your tunes work with either the sharkfin or the stubby? I don't want to order the wrong one and bog my radio....

The sharkfin causes less drag which causes excessive bogging at 4500rpms!

Visual garage's antenna gives far less drag and nets about
3 more hp and almost 2lbs tq. Tell them Craig sent you.
