Who's doing your heads? That is the most important part..

LOL, you can always upgrade!

There is always more to be had, something bigger and better. In the big picture your numbers are not all that bad. Over 400rwhp in a daily driver is a helluva a lot of fun. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks Justin. I was just joking and you are right. I can always upgrade if I want, but I have something else in mind..
