The only difference between the 19s & 18s is the lift I believe; all the other specs are relatively the same between the two. I was happy about them at first but now second guessing myself after LJMS said they wouldn't reccomend running them.

Just wondering if you might have had experience with them, but thanks though!

yeah it doesnt have the taper at the top and has a higher coil bind allowing more lift and i think it has more seat pressure and overall spring pressure.

So in reality they really shouldn't be a problem to run then you think?

Awesome, that's what I thought at first but started second guessing myself. Thanks!

That S480 looks nice. Are there plans to offer it in other sizes?

You should also write a book on philosophy, "The difference between shitty and pretty".

"The Denmah Philosophy -- Shitty or Pretty" Probably a best seller!

Anyway, so much exciting stuff ahead mentioned in that video, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!

I'm doing pretty much the same build as the truck currently in my car. I really hope you can get a couple track passes in to see what the real world gains would be going from the current 7875 stepping up to the big s480.

The Circle D Billet converters are a nice piece.

Hey Matt, I hesitate to say that I enjoyed your sloppy seconds because it sounds bad, but it really was enjoyable. Looking forward to more.

VERY interesting! Seems to line up with Freiberger and the guys bashing the crap out of a set of headers and making no difference on the engine dyno numbers.

So next question, which tube will live on the colorado in infamy? Pretty, or shitty?

Something I thought of from the sloppy seconds video. Could a microsquirt be used as a boost controller and ethanol sensor piggybacked to the stock ecu?
