Tomorrow, I will wash Stella and get you that side pic.

As for perfomance, I can only really tell a difference in 4/5/6th gear - she doesn't push me back like Eleanor (the '04 JCW) did. She sensed my dissapointment, and agreed to some surgery - like the Stage 1 kit with the 2% crank pulley from WMS (Webb Motorsports). Mmmm.... rougly 205hp

So... the JCW (over here at least) power at a third of the cost. Randy's got a warranty with his stuff, so I feel good about that.

(Basically saying that I missed the extra kick the JCW gave me in the upper gears.)
