I was just adding up what Kyle had on his post.... I know that only
half way. But its a good start.

Oh by the way, I have no suspension mods to start with.... all stock.

What about chassis? Over the past 5 years I requested birthday/Christmas items were parts for the SS so I got a few installed. I am glad that I don't have to start from nothing.

I am not sure but thought he was a dumb a$$ so thought I would let him shine in the lime light for a while. Although that is not much since I don't post a whole lot.

You guys blow my mind how you can do 650 post in 2 weeks. I can't keep up.

Hey Shawn, I didn't mean to cut you off like that Saturday. I was waiting awhile for that guy to show up. Hes been talking about building a super stock car. Hope you got to talk to the ati guys. You see how big the input shaft is in those p/m glides?
