    wheel alignment

    There is a trick to clean the VE's up a little, dont use factory specs.

You dont need to be a rocket scientist to do a alligment...

    300 kws what to do ?

    Cam 4-1 headers Hiflow cats 3" exhaust OTR Retune 320rwkw................... Drivability will be a bit of a issue under 1500rpm but who cares. Add a yella terra 2.4ltr whipple and you will see 420rwkw all day everyday with no reliability issues.
