Default Got my car back from CMS

The meth kit is as stealth a can be the torque is crazy and the car runs strong. Got sideways on the 15 when traffic was moving at 45mph and I dropped it in second to get around the idiots in the left lane. The tune is going to need some work but all in all I will be using up a few tanks of gas while on leave. Thanks Ryne.

Man, with the stock rear end in it and the power it's putting down, that would certainly mean a tow to CMS and a new rear. Don't feel like spending that cashage before the summer gets here.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I was at the spectrum. Butt load of really nice cars that day. She does get down the road. Only issue is traction or lack there of.

Thats easily fixed though, just start looking for a 9". Im pretty happy with my Midwest Chassis 9", the price you get it for is tough to beat the quality that you get from it. Ryne and Mike both saw it when I had them modify my exhaust after the install and were impressed.

I haven't priced them but I imagine they aren't cheap. I will probably entertain that and a FMIC when I get back to Pensacola next year.
