eh....what can you tolerate? personally i've found rod-ends are not for me....but i don't mind the full spool in my moser 9" rear end. odd huh?

could you put up with driving a full all out drag car every day? i couldn't. now, a full-suspension f-body thats pimped out(rims, system, etc) with a built motor and maybe a mid-trim supercharger? i can live with that, even with the **** that i'll break from time to time. not gonna break records but i don't need my name on a list either to sleep well at nite.

what does it for you?

I have said I'm done a few times but I think this is it for me. I have all the mods I want. The only real mod left is heads but I don't see me spending that kinda money on my 100,000 mile motor. This is it. Mods in sig

Well said. I have my car now, and am going to enjoy it now. I am not trying to preserve it or set records either, just make it something fun to drive everyday. Am I done modding? no, will I ever, I think so, but I will probably have to buy another car to screw with if I am going to stop messing with mine

you are never done. I always get a boner when i find new power... then after a few months it gets boring. kinda like a woman. next thing you know, you are back at the drawing board trying to find 15 more ft/lbs of torque. it never ends!

felton316... i know what you mean about the checking account reading $o.oo. Then income taxes come in and look out... "It's party time!!!" wooooohooo!

After looking at the checking account statement, my wife informed me that I was, in fact, fully satisfied!

once you start modding it you will never be done, there will always be stuff you need even if you dont want to upgrade no more.

I will have enough power when the engine can smoke the tires in 4th gear with slicks. Then I will start spending the money on suspension to hook up. Then its back to the motor for more powah.
