I think this got covered at least to the point where most of us don't know enough to ask more questions.

And I've come to the decision that I'll probably hold out for a BBK instead of a stop-gap upgrade on my stockers like the FHI 4-pots, but since I can't afford the Stoptechs now, there's no point in dwelling on 'em. I'll be back as soon as I have $1600 buring a hole in my pocket.

That'll last about 2-3 events before you decide that it's my 4 pots leading my to the points lead in SM.

You'll lead SM 'cuz you're the only car running there so far.

So is it your wallet or your... courage... that's keeping you from making the leap?

Das wallet. I was acutally planning to run NSM, but decided that it'd cost way too much to be competative nationally, and I'm thinking about going to Topeka this year. 'Course I'll prolly get my ass kicked there in STX too, but at least it won't be due to funding.

The Cusco car has water cooled Alcon calipers. The Prodrive brake kit is made by Alcon it's a street kit and very light.
