    *Trim Calculation*

    Would be interesting if you could measure the inside of the comp cover from the front! I wouldn't expect going from 49>50 being that much of an upgrade as you describe.

    *Trim Calculation*

    To go from 49 to 50 trim the difference would be 1.75/44.45mm > 1.77/45mm Joel so I'm not sure if they change the exducer as well.

    *Trim Calculation*

    It's one of those NerdyMcNerd things that isn't really of any use in the real world but it's nice to know what they mean when they say "Trim". Bigger the number the more it will flow.

    Steering Help!?!?!?!

    Try getting a friend to make it clunk while you watch each part of the steering from the shaft out of the firewall right to the tie rod ends. If it's loud enough to clank the sloppy parts will be visable
