Alright, drove it home last night, around the trails here at the house today and then back to the shop on the interstate...

Ive got weird steering goin on or I just need to get used to it.  It is extremely touchy and almost scary, likes to twitch back and forth...  And the sway just makes it worse.  I need higher rate springs on the back so that may help the steering some and I may actually need a sway bar back there but time will tell.  The only other thing I can think of on the steering is the ackerman might be off a little too much or the ram could even still have air in it which could delay it a little.

Already mentioned but stiffer springs out back, Im gonna throw chris's 200 over 300 back there and go for a spin just to see.

The brakes are still funky and Id like to try the toy MC but the reservoir on it wont fit under the engine cage...  It would solve my brakeline-coilover issue (almost touching).  So Im gonna see what I could do about a remote res. for the toy MC.

Unbalanced 38.5" creepies ride like they are on glass... hit 70 with them and it was incredibly smooth, but 20psi with an 8" wheel makes them ride on their centers.

The exhaust is far too loud

And for some reason when it idles down the oil light is coming on.
