i completely agree with ya. your probably right, it is probably just the dumbest thing you would never think to look at.
actually, thats what i did to. there was a guy hanging out with us at trails during night of thunder, that does dyno tuning. i asked him a few things about mine, and he said they were very possible, and some things very likely. As for listening just just random people, i agree, they have never seen the car so they have no idea, but i just listen to try to get some idea's on possilbe things to try and nothing more.
