LOL, you talk as if 550rw is hard to hook up. It's not. Been there, done that. "Fast" street cars making 1000-2000rw are managing to make it hook on the street with current tech, 550rw is easy. Especially with how heavy cars are now. 550rw in a fox, yeah its abit of a handful to drive, but not these tanks. lol.

You seem to forget who has talked almost every person on this board into giving TrueStreet a shot including yourself as a former High Priced Parts supporter. I've sent them more business than anyone.
