You also may want to check out Powerhouse Performance in Orland Park, talk to John or Chris, if they can put up with my s**t you know they're good! Both real decent guys, worth the call. :seeya

I assume you made a mental mistake here as your other thread mentioned you went to Powerhouse Performance in Orland Park as you were impressed with John's customer service and shop. Am i correct that you went to Powerhouse Performance. If yes, you made a great choice! ;) :yesnod:
