We all put in the TH fixes. I liked mine a lot, so did Darren. I think Kerry liked his, but I don't remember him saying for sure. I gave Darren my extra and he's going to put it in his wife's Taurus. I guess it does the same sort of thing.

As far as differences in the cars, the clutch and shifter feel were different in each of them. Darren said mine was notchy. Kerry's felt like what I would consider a new car! It was really refined...that DMD really does a wonderful thing to the higher RPMs. We didn't really drive that far in each other's cars, except when Darren and I went out in mine. We went out 5 or 6 miles just playing with the quaife. I think he likes it!

I expect that Rob's is the fastest. We found so many things decontented that its bound to be the lightest! Darren did say that mine felt heavy to him, but I think it might have to do with the mileage.

I showed Kerry and Darren my "vibration" at around 2400-2600 RPM. It's kind of disturbing. I might have some main bearings going out or something similar. None of the other cars experience this. I forgot to mention it to Lance at the meet...do you experience this? 5th gear at 60MPH in umbearable. I have to either speed up, slow down or shift to fourth. The oil pan will be coming off if the DMD doesn't solve it.

I'll get everything arranged for a Sunday meet here for DMD installations etc. We'll probably go after some tune-ups as well. Can't wait to get that DMD!
