Thank you! The real joy is the way it improves the ride. 10lbs lighter at each corner makes a huge difference. Turn in is much quicker and even in 6th gear at say 55mph it has much more pull now

Yeah I had read and watched YouTube videos about how lighter wheels made a big difference I didn't count on 10lbs per wheel doing much. Immediately after I had them installed it was like a "whoa" moment.

Yeah , I'm fascinated and very intrigued by the turbo/supercharger option. It's a big leap. I'm still semi iffy on the E-85 thing. I'm leaning that way first, probibly next year. Can't wait to see how it all works out for Derek.
