my top was 102ish, but my car was rattling like f**k and had the wife screaming at me to go slower.

I've heard that with off tracking that the car shakes more, is this true?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

yea, the car pulls to the left a bit, I did ask the girl at work today if her boyfriend does the tracking and stuff but he only has the equipment for 4wd's atm  :sad:
