uh, maybe jimk can comment on this because he has this setup.. he does
have lehman chips though.. but I tell ya-- He'll be lucky if he can get
my butt indentation out of his seat.. Put it this way, its faster than
stock no doubt. got more lag than my stock rig it seems but pushes you
into the seat more. The trouble is that the car is so quiet and nice to
drive you dont even notice you are going way too fast before its too
late. oh, is that me doin' 100?! shit!
