It is low yes, the cold side outlet is not angled properly in the pictures so looks a lot lower than it really is. Will definitely not hit the ground if it was to wheelie and come back down. We will see if we need a oil return pump and if we do we will add one, no big deal.

Not sure if I will run the 8.5 limited due to the fact you can't have a boost controller....prolly do the x275 class and just be the slow one haha I'd love the 8.5 if they allowed boost controllers

No steve isn't local, he is out of Richmond Virginia, he is a buddy of ours. He comes to Fort Wayne to do tuning a few times a year for us. He uses HP tuners.

I have read good results from them. I am considering a mail order tune for my setup to get me going. I already have the hptuners just havent used it enough to be comfortable with tuning myself. Your trans am is awesome. I wish car magazines would actually put decent size posters in the mags like they used to. If there was one of you TA i would have it on the wall with the others.

If you can run in the 5.3-5.4 range you should at least be able to go rounds. I think that's about what they were running in summer.

Hopefully with the change of venue they are able to keep the same payout as last year. Also in September, they are running a 5k to win king of the street and kings throwdown at the street life tour event.
