thanks, being an auto tech by trade it is really hard for me not to alter the engine for more performance, it has plenty of power and really needs nothing. but I can see a cam change in the near future. I just love the sound of a lopey idle .

Dan do you have long tubes on your car? I ask this, becuase I was considering lowering mine after she gets back from the shop, but I think that the long tubes will really limit my ride height.

Thanks
