give him a call or email him and see what he says, he located in Cory NC so you could take it to him and have him tune it on the spot with his dyno

you sounded pretty concerned about the weight of those CAs. you could prolly shave some off and still keep the strength. i mean look at the coil bucket, its realyl deep. you dont need all that. you could atleast get them to weigh as much as the stock arms dont you think? your going to paint them anyway right? you should, so they match everything.



also, dont you want to get viper brakes? dont you have to get different spindles for that? dont they have lowering spindles that adapt for the brakes? doesnt that mean you could save like 300 bucks by not buying control arms and achieving the same height via the spindles? you get what im sayin?

He doesn't have a dyno, he is a field tuner, his tuning is done via e-mail, unless you arrange dyno time from an outside source, and arrange for sean to come in and do the tuning and take care of his fee's expenses. :wave:

picked the truck up today. Drove it for the first time and it likes to pop out of gear so I need to do some work to it. Hemifever may send me a few email tunes so I can drive it around to work on the gear issue. But other than that its going back to PIE when dannys is done.

Im not going to chop up the control arms because I dont plan on having them for too long. I already have all the parts for the brake kit and they just use a modified stock spindle.

just noticed a bunch of spots on my cover where the clear coat is peeling. Looks like some one spilt brake fluid etc on it and it was never there before I droped it off at the shop.
