You think you spin now bro…wait till you put those springs in,higher spring rates=less weight transfer=less traction. It will look great though. ---

I was surprised when I put my H&R super sports in. Wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Good enough to cut a 2.0 60ft with my GT on street tires :nod. ---

Your own friggin fault. No one forced you to get more low end torque than a human can handle. ---

The kid that worked on my car has a cammed/bolt on 2002 Trans am…first thing he asked me after he drove the car was “is it cammed”? “it sounds like it is”…I said no its not A few questions: 1. How did they CLEAN the injectors? They must have removed if they cleaned them. For that price, you should have Cruizin clean and flow test. Not sure what they did 2. Different injectors? How are they controlled? Does that thing have a carb? 🙂 ---

You can scan the car yourself. Get an OBDII logger or buy from Walmart and return Pull plugs and gap them is easy Pulled fuel rail and cleaned injectors = pointless It’s like buying the injector cleaner. Even the STP one that’s a few cents more that people spring for is shit. It’s only $95 but you could have kept that money and bought some spinners to match those white gauges. :nono ---
