just wondering how you find that armrest useful when you have a mtx, I can see that it is ok for highway cruising but it is in my way when shifting, but then again I find the pre-98 console jus tthe right height for an armrest

I find the true dual screw holes with the resonater screws removed adds at least 8 hp.

I think we have a weiner! 
I am not sure what your point is in saying this? Here I am trying to be helpful in answering fellow CEG'ers questions and this is the kind of response you post, calling me a weiner and posting a HELP smiley!!! What the [censored] did I ever do to you to say this. Maybe I am taking your response the wrong way but this is one of the many reasons why I do not like posting on this site. Don't get me wrong I enjoy
CEG, but sometimes it seems pointless to post or respond to a topic if this is the response it receives.

The way I took it was they were being sarcastic, but good hearted... but I do not understand the help part.
I don't think they meant anything bad, IMO...

dpa43, FWIW I think the positive responses far outweighed the negative in this case.  I for one (fairly obviously  ) appreciated the pics.

I always thought "I think we have a weiner" was just a good-natured mutation of "I think we have a winner." Kinda like "My cow-orkers said whatever..."

My arm isn't long enough to hit the armrest. The armrest is a little wimpy but I definitely like it on the highway.
