Jason is pretty good about telling people to buy a new car if they want help. He's always been that way, nothing new there.

a pair of 600's in the front, and a pair of 200's in the rear should be a good start on springs. a pair of 4/6 shocks in the front, 8/2 left rear, and 3/5 right rear should be ok too.

Helping people in your cars to run better is part of the advertising budget. It still floors me that people don't understand this. It doesn't matter if they bought the car from you or not, if you built the chassis, help them run better and you'll sell more in the long run. Instead of having to pay to advertise, you put in some hours. big deal.

Call Kevin Shaw at Larry Shaw Racing. He'll be happy to help you even though you are driving another manufacturers car. After dealing with him, you'll probably want to buy a Shaw for your next car. Kevin is pure class and has always been very helpful to us and many other racers.

no offense but everyone and the dog wants a hughes car right now. He doesnt have to do any advertising his product sells itself they are winning at the upper echelon. the 06 is completely different then the cars he is building now. a pair of 600's up front and a pair of 200's in the back 52.5ls 57%rear w/o drvr. Should get you started.

kevin will be a big help w/ ride heights and a good baseline
