ahh, so you're going to be ready to have a new setup when you're done with your CPA stuff.

which reminds me... i need to get my G's alignment soon. i hit a pretty big bump the other day on the road from all the heat where the asphalt raised up like 5-6inches. wasn't expecting that.
Yes I'm usually at 220 myself during normal driving. by bogging down I mean it seems the heat causes worse response from the engine almost like there is slightly less power. I keep forgetting to log my IATs but I think I will next drive I do.

And yes once CPA is complete I will buy somethign
