Regarding my 60' and traction. I really don't have much trouble hooking up if I do a proper burn out with the stock tires. I heard some guy giving someone advice at the track to NOT do a burnout on street tires that it will only make them slippery not sticky. I don't find this to be the case- at least not with the stock Michelins.

Distilled water in spray bottle? Never heard anything about that????

Thanks again Rob for everything. All I have to do now is use some of that felt you gave me. My driver's side CAI tube is rubbing against the tube coming down off the back of the mani- it's already scuffed the paint off in a tiny spot. The passanger side CAI is rubbing the corner of one of he coil packs. I'll see if I can reposition it- I never had that fitment issue before the duals (possibly due to tilting the rubber-y up slightly to clear the AC line on the driver's side).
I remember the spray bottle! Never used it though.
