Yeah, I understand. It was a consideration for me too. However, I'm running LGM LT's with BB PRT's and the 224/228 shakes pretty good too, so I'm beyond the "smooth" stage into and pretty far into the "beast" stage already. My wife no longer likes riding in the car. Is that good or bad?

Thanks to all who responded. I decided to try the Vinci/Crane 228/232 .551 112 with the 1.8 Crane Gold rockers. I had a great talk with Roger Vinci and will take the plunge. Geez, I've already spent my retirement anyway, so what's a little more? Just kidding, I hope this is the last mod for a long while. I will let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks!
