I neglected to mention the Eaton, JPSS Swaybars, and Hendrix bushings are the cats meow for the track! I notice a big difference in the way the car worked in the turns. The last time I took it out, the car would 'wander' left to right - where the posi-mod would 'grab' quite a bit. The sway bars setup the car nicely, exactly what I expected using JusticePete's recommendations -- very smooth and you could push the car and feel confident. I had no issues with the axles, and I for one am VERY greatful about that. The oil cooler, temps never went above 225° -- now, I'm not running 7/10 ths, but was happy about that. The trans temps, however did climb too high for me (248°) and I'm certain, the oil cooler doing its job is the reason since it is right in front of my trans cooler. Even with that big cooler, I'll need to move it around some. I'll be moving it 'lower' so it can get more of the 'bottom' air or possible moving it in front of the oil cooler -- I'll need to see....

All in all, happy with the updates. I'll be going in the fall hopefully to give it a whirl again...
