dont know if i just now got around to noticing it but my steering column flops around alot i think there's a thread about that or something i need to do someone chime in if u know what needs to happen to fix it
Yep, fix it lol. Just kidding man. You gotta remove the wheel, pretty much all the guts(turn signal cam, ignition cylinder, etc to get down to the torx head bolts. There are 4 of them and most likely they're loose. Remove them, clean the threads and put some blue thread locker on them, install. Then just reverse the removal process and bam!

when those are the issue does it seem like the column can move up or down about a inch or is that some sort of bearing?

Sounds about right. Typically the knuckle?? joint doesn't go bad unless it doesn't have any grease. If those bolts back out just a few threads it will do it.

What did the dyno return numbers wise? That's a nice car, I prefer the squared off rear to the aero coupes.
260 whp but i was just out of the brake in period with base timing and no tune on the fi-tech on a 350 with decent heads and intake that are on it, i believe with some timing and a tune i can get that closer to 290 whp but hard to say i still have a stroker kit in mind.
