Yah I know,, at least the place in McKinney comes with good recommendations from the pit crew. I hope their alignment holds up under the pressure I put my cars through,,but they do seem to know what they are doing ,,unlike Wylie. Clint and Sean send most of there stuff there, and according to Chuck they do quite a few race car setups for them 
Hope this time was a good selection.

I remember you texting Tim and I about this great place in Wylie to align you car. I hate to say I told you.... but we both said ur suspension was going to come loose like it did on our cars.... haha
I would go talk to them.
Not trying to make fun of your mishap, but im having a hard time not falling off my chair laughing... haha

Could your alignment issue been part of your issue at Kellers that night ?

This group knows that it is only a matter of time before the mod bug bites. First it’s a CAI and headers, which you already have. Then you add a ported/polished TB, which you are considering. Next it will be an intake, heads, cam, mufflers, followed along with gears, stall, etc..... 
Good luck resisting the urge

Hmmmm,, maybe,,,I think I had that alignment right after I got the Phadts. So if that was loose,,who knows. Kellers was just outright over-steer on my part whether or not the left front camber was loose or not. Slick asphalt corrects different than concrete big time, my compensation for the 2nd gear slide was just a little too much and then for what ever reason it griped and pulled hard left,,,maybe it was due to the loose left front side 
Live and learn But that sounds like a good excuse for me

Or you can just go Forced Induction... I've already done my homework on this option and I can point you in the right direction.. Procharger with Vortec Head unit and an A@A kit is a great way to go.. Parts and labor with a new clutch can be had for around 8k depending on what clutch and flywheel you pick.. I've had quotes from 10k-13k too.. Best thing to do is buy everything yourself and then go for labor quotes with a GOOD local speed shop or individual with a good reputation on this forum..
