Those are extremely cool.

In news not about your car, it sounds like my Cortex axle will ship in a week or two!

That's awesome! You will find an incredible improvement in grip.
You will need to make some chassis adjustments to take full advantage of it.

That's awesome! Congrats.

If they had known about the N/A Coyote and Cortex Axle you'd probably be a few places higher up.
The info they have was from years ago when it was just an hpde car….my how things have changed since then.

Anything I could use on that table? You know how to reach me.
No, all that has to go back on the car....I was just "Cleaning" it....lol.
Between the catch can over flowing and bursting power steering lines its had plenty of external lubrication.....needed the simple green clean.
