Glad you could get them in. Im not as impressed as I thought I would be however.

The first big change I noticed was yesterday when I pulled a u-turn. The two cars in front, one u-turned and the other was making a left turn in front of me. The first car was pulling in to a store and the other car got stuck. I noticed this and quickly punched it while pulling around the two cars, engine racing, people looking, after I moved back over to slow down and turn right I was going just under 50 at about 49. I was suprised because normally I only could get about 50 from a rolling start at the same part of that intersection to the next. But this time I was u-turning about 10-15ft in front of where I usually start and stopping 10-15ft sooner to turn.

I will say the PT runs smoother and feels cleaner. Im disapointed that it doesn't really seem much faster then before.

Never heard of those. Beside my stock wires were really stuck.

That is not my pinky but left index. It has since almost healed up, quit bleeding yesterday mid day and is still swolen. Can't bend it all the way closed yet.
