Grant, you truly strike me as one of the last people
I'd ever wish this on.  If Max will not do anything
for you, rest assured, none of us will ever let anyone
on this list buy from him!  Glad to hear your car is
running great.  Even though you don't have a turbo,
don't be afraid to take it up to the redline, the cam
really starts to wake up right around 5k.  I can
quickly pull my car up to 80 mph in third grear!  I
can't wait to feel it with HD springs in it.

Talk to you later,
