Thanks again. I e-mailed them last night. I will give them a call Monday. Ref Tune I had PCM for less tune my PCM, and you are correct the car ran, and still does run like a beast. Like I said after the bolt ons and the PCM tune the car would break the tires loose to the point that it was scarry to drive because when you mashed it the wheels would break loose unexpetedly. I always drove Hi Perf stick cars, this is my 1st auto so I am use to knowing exactly when the cars is going to shift. So 1st I got new rims and the wider, stickier tires and that helped a little, but not much. then I installed panhard bar, LCA, and SFCs. now it sticks real nice, but I dont think there is enough gear, the RPMs don't stay in the sweet spot. I kinda had the same expeience with my 69. It ran 12.42 @118 MPH in the 1/4 with 26" tall street tires witht 3.73 gear, but it spun most of the way down the track 2.5 60 ft time. I tried 28 inch drag radials and the car ran slower because it bogged the engine at the start line (It ran basically the same time but a couple mph slower through the traps, but it did have a better 60 time; got it just below 2 which still isn't great). Anyway someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse so it's sold, and I bought this just to play around with and I really love the car. I also have a work in progress 69 L78 car so I still have a 69.
