Cool stuff. 
I installed my J&M rear lower control arms today, piece of cake. Overall these seem to have reduced wheel hop a lot in regular driving, can't wait to see how the car launches at the strip. I did do a little 2.5k rpm launch in front of my buddy's house after installing them, it hooked really good with just a tire chirp.

Morning Guys,
When straight from work to a wedding in Richmond Indiana yesterday. Got home about 9 pm. Planning on a easy day today sitting in the sun with a can of my favorite brew in close reach.
Congrats on the win Tom.
Larry...just buy the blower and we'll figure out a way to keep the shaker.
Way to go Justin. Sounds like the new lower control arms did the trick for you.
Get out of bed John!!! You sleepy head.
Morning Glenn, Darrell, Chris, Ben, Cody, STD and anyone else I may of forgot. Oh yeah you too Robert just in case you lurking around.

Voted for Tom!
Tom, why did you switch from a Vortech with more power to a Saleen with less power? Because the Saleen has more torque? Looks? More reliable? You like the 'whine' sound over the 'rattle' sound? To confuse Scott? You accidentally misplaced your Vortech? Brent told you to?

Well to be honest.............
ALL OF THE ABOVE! But mainly just to confuse Scott and make Darrell feel better about his choice!
OK seriously- the Vortech made more power but it was at 6500rpm. The Saleen actually makes more power up to 6000rpm. I don't drive over 6000rpm very much so I never noticed it. On the other hand, the Saleen makes gobs more (100+) more torque at like 2300-2500rpm which I definetly noticed.
That and the fact that my cousin Brent (right Darrell!) made me do it from peer pressure.

You're right I had no idea...... I was guessing it was some kind of submarine or locomotive.
Thanks!
