every thing was good under the car mate ,yes i will start to pot some timing in it today.

so have you been driving it, no problems yet with ground clearance.
i was thinking with the pics you would have the same problems the phamspeed guys did, then i was looking at my turbo kit with its 4" downpipe and 2" wategate pipe that goes under the kmember, looks about the same clearance as your kit, and i havent hit anything yet and i have goen down some steep ramps and a few speed bumps.
keep everyone updated on ground clearance problems.
