Hey, I'm glad you beat my guess!

Any chance you could let me in on if the bolts are fore or aft on the upper control arms? I got alignment scheduled for Monday. Thanks!

The drivers side LS1 caliper is dragging a little, I'm going to replace it before Power Tour, I dont want to have issues 2000 miles from home. Then an oil change and she is ready to go! 8 days left!

Thanks! I installed mine the wrong way, which was confirmed on the alignment rack. Not a big deal to fix compared to changing the ball joints.

Do you have another build thread out there? How fast did you get up on that straight-a-way? I got up to 130 before a Nomad slowed down in front of me... lol.

Nice meeting you too... I ran 12.4 @ 118 in 104* air completely heat soaked. I only made one pass. The car has a lot more in it, just not in those conditions.

Rock took out my windshield in ohio on the way to the kickoff in florida
