I think we need to do an "Occupy UMI" & burn some old tires (on wheels) in protest. Then we'll need some deliverys from some of the local breweries for after the tire burning. :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
Maybe even do some product testing while there.(y)

Those dyno numbers were on a chassis dyno so they are indeed rwhp and rwtq.
The AFR head really is the key. They are pretty awesome.

You guys have done a FANTASTIC job converting that ole' G into a SuPer FUN automobile. You may have reached a point where the tires are complaining about twisting forces exerted on their outer diameter?? Enjoy, Ole' Bob.

Any upcoming front upper coil over bracket designs coming out. Similar to the chicanes ? really one of the only things holding me back from buying my complete coil over setup from you guys.
