Im not planning on running it past 10psi, i just got my license and im probly not experianced enough to handle any thing past that just yet (give it 6 months ). thanx for all the help so far. im picking up the car on saterday and as of then will be looking for the parts to tubro the beast. So if anyone has any parts that they dont want and think i might be intrested in them just pm me and ill get back to you as soon as posible. pics comming soon......
