I just hit 1100 miles on the motor and getting ready to dyno. Anyway, I'm looking into a full steeda suspension but need some suggestions on a k-member. I have maximum motorsports, groundpounder, and griggs in mind but need some suggestions. My setup will be intended for road race but occasional 1/4 mile. Any help would be great. stroked50@tmail.com----- Also, have a friend getting rid of a gt40 intake for $300 with less than 2000 miles on it. I might pick it up so my edelbrock will be for sale. The upper on my edelbrock is polished- make an offer if interested. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>AJBlackGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 3936</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,11,21,10,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I just got a D&D k member, a arms, and coilovers.
