I have some specs I was going to use for my upcoming alignment. I'd like to compare with what you and/or Donovan have. These are listed as "Aggressive Street". Who did the alignment? Same guy?
If you are not in a hurrry I can give you a print-out of my alignment setting and what the factory recommended set-up is.

I'm in no hurry...look how long it's taken me to decide on a clutch. My hood still need painting.

Seriously I would appreciate it.

Thanks Chris, I was watching these but interest dwindled and no "great deal" GP was achieved but I am keeping an eye on them.

I haven't ruled out Z0sence's prices completely.

3.90s is too high man Bob at House of Wheels has the OEM black with polished lip at a good price!!! Cams are cheap--it's the install and retune that make it cost so much.

Look outside, I think I'll start building the second arc

3:90's seem to be a good fit on the Z06's with the 6th gear...BUT I will look into it a bit more. I agree about the cam. I'll check with Bob on the OEM Black wheels. It's not supposed to rain this afternoon with Sunday being awesome!!

Put some hard miles on the suspension this morning after completing the bedding process with the brakes. The car is so freakin tight and hugs the road, it's almost like a totally different animal. Took a 35mph curve at 80mph with very little effort! Makes the cost and install worth it, but the install was very involved and messy.

Donovan don't forget the money for the rotors and pads this Satuday, I may have to use it to eat and drink at Vinnies'! Gotta get a new windshield on the tahoe tomorrow as it caught a rock the size of a golfball on 85 yesterday!

No problem with the $ I got approval from the money ferry.

I'm looking forward to seeing how your car does on the next Serpent run
