i would like to start placing some blame here.

first it is TSP's fault for talking me into a 408

second it is Patrick G's fault for spec'ing the cam to make torque and pass the cali sniffer test

and last but not least it is CMS's fault for getting everything together and running again, never broke anything while my car was parked for 2 years

and if anyone can help me out with posting a pic from my cell phone that would be awesome

I would upgrade to a custom 3.5 in aluminum one while you are down there, IMO since you want to spray it. Ryne can get you all the things that you need for your car to get it up and running again. I would give him a call or shoot him a PM for prices and what you want to do. Other then the DS and TQ ARM, hows the car feel?

You know the TA I have will take the abuse but just so you know its not adjustable. And as much as id like to sell it you may want a stronger driveshaft.
