Well I just got back from doing a test drive with the auto and all is good. Man it rides so much smoother now. I think something is wrong with that 6 speed anyway it had alot of vibration.

hey craig and sheik, thanks a ton for the extra hands today!!! always nice to have some help when wrenchin on the car, even if we end up doing more talking than working. lol

sheik, the black ss with red stripes belongs to someone who works at building 4, and ive seen the primer car with a cowl hood at the skill shop. he has a stroker small block in it with a dual tunnel ram, but the car is weak for what he has in it. if i remember correctly he said he was either low 13s or high 12s. i told him where we hang out, but he has never came out. i know he was having trouble getting it to run right so maybe thats why.

Well I am going to be flying out next week for the sand box... So I will not be stopping by until I get back next year...

Went to Sears today to have my tires balanced and rotated... Told the clerk that I did not want any impact wrench used on my car. They told me ok.. Well I went outside to check on my car. Well what did I see, them using the impact wrench on my car... I told them the reason on why I did not it used because I do not want the nuts to be rounded out, studs stretched...
