You sounded like you didn't know that there was a major points race there, that's my point.

UPDATE: Front brakes

He spent this much.
UPDATE: So I started ordering parts this weekend. Here's what I have so far

EBC Front Sport Rotors and Green Stuff Pads: $229.68
HS Roller Rockers 1.7's : $300
Fastman TB: $225+$10+$80 core
(3) Grover 27"x 6" Air horns: $75.00
Superchips 3815: $250.00

Total Parts: $1,169.68

I talk with John @ Southeast and he had a set of RR that are used. They have less than 300 miles on them so he sold them to me for $300 shipped. They are from a 408 stroker that blew out the bottom end. He said they were in mint condition. From what I've heard he's a good guy, so I think it's a good deal. I also talked with my buddy that runs a 4x4 fab shop and I think he and I are going to self-perform the work instead of paying my normal shop guy. We'll see what happens.

Anywyas, I will keep you posted and take pictures as the goody pile begins to grow
