We're gonna be very proficient at dropping the rear cradle it sounds like. I'll be ready to do mine next weekend.

I'm totally jealous. I'd love to have a set. Those damn things would almost be worth it to just put on your desk for art.

So quick question. I'm all set to do the header install this week the tune will follow shortly there after. Question is, what is better for a bolt on car? To just go with a Dyno tune by a reputable tuner or do one of the mail order tunes that lets you data log and they adjust from there? I'm not to keen about a generic tune and forget it though.

I know, it's a shame you won't be able to see them under the car.

Do whatever is cheapest for bolt ons. My stock tune is just as good as the jannetty tune besides the cel.

Thanks Jim. I'm gonna try and get the fuel pressure gauge done today.

Nope on the dyno shop down here! You need to go to Justin Kalwei up in KC if you're looking for a dyno tune.
