I'm from Las Vegas. The only time I was in MO was during basic training, AIT, and Sapper School! I definitely don't miss the humidity or the hills in Ft. Leonard Wood

I'm gonna stay around 600-650 for now, until I finish saving up for a forged 416 and a built transmission.

I wonder if the cts-v brakes will go on my f body. i have not even thought about braking. all i have are some after market rotors and hawk pads. might as well do some nicer brakes and ssb lines.

I have the ctsv brakes on my 02 TA. Just the fronts. Was not sure if they would fit in the rear. You have run a 18 inch wheel. There is a huge sticky in the brake section about the upgrade. I put hawk pads in and the stopping power is way better than stock.

Thanks everyone. I receive more love and feedback on this forum then on the G8 board. Thats the reason I like it here, I did most of my F-1 research on this forum.
