    No, its the new engine. Non of us at the shop are very happy about it. But we'll tear it back down an see whats wrong hopefully it isn't anything major. That way we can get it fixed in time for the HPS track day.

    That was a tough break Dan (No Pun intended), I was in the Shop having some MM Full Length Subframe Connectors, LCA's, and an Aluminum Driveshaft installed by Shane at the time. Dan and the guys had obviously been busting their butts to make this happen, were very tired looking. It was a big dissapontment, but could have been a big $$$$$ bang at the track.

    I won't know for sure untill Friday night at Firebird, but it feels tighter when cornering. The Subframes have allready been put to the test, as skid guard protectors on traffic bumps.

    Maybe it is just one of the "lifters" not pumping up ?
