Notice, Coach said "with weight reduction"...and I think he meant ALOT of it. It's hard to run mid 11s internally stock, especially with an M6.

Highly recommend 4.10's in place of the 3.90's. You need all the gear you can get.

Good luck to ya. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
