Im not really into the show scene or quarter mile mainly coz i live so far away, nearest one for me is probably crail raceway even thats a 400 mile round trip so i rarely go. Al mabe venture down sometime for a run just to see what it will do

Be interesting to see your power figures. Would have to be on sane rollers for an accurateish comparison.

As Joefield said, your car is perfectly lowered! What size are the Montreal II's and how low is your car? Is it on coilovers or springs?
