I don't know that I don't. I just know that I like mine. No finger wringing in this arrangement.

I just think I'll quit...

Not really but it's way easier then working on this thing.

Short List:
New Alternator (Should be here any day)
Another custom alternator pulley (Should be here any day too)
Install the 3.50 gears (I'm lazy, this will happen in the next two weeks)
Buy Race gas (14.50$ a gallon... REALLY???)
Change the rear shocks ( I have them.. Again, just lazy)

Car should be back at the track in 2 weeks to hopefully click off some 7 second passes
