Understood.

I for one, enjoy the heavy duty mechanical noise as long as it's not destructive noise.

I also like my passengers to be a bit frightened!


BTW: Keith did do a new 9"

I was fixated on the tv watching that show. What amazed me on the sound dampening was they used the Dynamat type product cut out in the shape of cartoon lightning bolts and strategically placed them on the sheet metal panels vs doing the entire panel and adding unnecessary pounds to the car.

I'm running AFCO double adjustable shocks with my BMR TA. Although I've experienced no wheel hop as of yet it sounds like I need a set of RideTechs with Ron's secret sauce!

yes you can run 335 tires...but that's up to you, you have to mini tub you car, leafs and 4 link achieve the same result, the leaf is more violent on the track compared to a link rear system (anyone's link not just ours) our 4 link is a simple install with the least amount of fabrication, parts and welding
