Thanks!

Current set up:

Suspension: LG Coilovers, poly-bushings, bump-steer, Z06 sway bars.

Tires: Hoosier R6's with a good track alignment.

Engine: LS2 with ported TB, ported intake, cam w/ stock heads, about 400 rwhp.

The car's suspension was set-up by someone who really knows what he is doing. The car is well balanced, set like a rock at high speed and is very consistent and predictable.

Anthony,

Thanks for letting me pick your brain with all my "newbie" questions! It's really great knowing that all I have to do is drop an e-mail or pick up the phone and you willingly help out. Your "hard-earned" experience has saved me literally thousands of dollars and countless hours of what would have been useless effort.
