Sweet. I am happy with mine so far. I was never really into the slammed look that most aftermarket springs provide. The stock RL springs were a touch taller the SS/SC and SS/TC. Here are the best pics I have for Stock vs Powell. I would esitmate they dropped 1/2" front and rear.

I'll have to take pictures of my car to show you guys, but I'm convinced that my front end still sits lower than other SS/TCs for some reason. It was the same way stock.
But these YYZ springs are letting me take the many roundabouts in Oshkosh at alarming speeds haha. It was bad enough before with just the stock springs, sticky tires, and a rear sway bar, but its dangerous now. If nobody else is in the roundabout, I actually speed up going into the roundabouts
. I have since noticed that because these springs allows me to carry much more speed into the corner due to the reduced understeer, I can't start accelerating out mid turn like I used to because now my diff kicks in and the front end slides out haha. I should say that the springs are using the grip better so that I can carry more speed through the turn so I no longer can accelerate so hard mid turn. That wording might make more sense, idk.

Tony Gaples LOL He has some nice rides but doesn't give a **** about them. He bought a brand new McLaren MP12C last year and drove it in the winter. Also I have heard he has a led foot on the street and has a lawyer strictly for his traffic tickets. BlackDog is a sponsor of a track day that I help out with every summer and have some cool stuff.

I'll be there. I'll either be with my buddy in his Z51 vette or with my buddy that has a twin turbo 350z. No DL to drive my car so I'll try my best to have fun.

Once again I won't be driving. So I won't be able to make that decision. If you live in IL already you should probably just meet at BlackDog Racing. Otherwise the start point meeting place is mentioned above.

I am not sure yet. I was going to part out the car but now my brother is thinking about buying it. I am going to try to talk him out of the TVS since I still have the M62 sitting in my garage. If I do part out, local guys will get the first crack at it.
I did not have the TVS at that time. That was the M62 w/ 2.6" an 35 shot. He pulled me hard! It would have been a little different if I had the TVS but I still think he would have won. Now a TVS with a ported head....

Anyone have the ability to clean clogged fuel injectors? Two of my 79's got clogged when my motor went a week or two ago. Now the car is only running on two cylinders and ive traced it to the injectors they were coated in oil.
