It's a personal decision. I'm not telling you to do anything. We both made different decisions. I'm writing my opinion so that the OP can make his own decision.

BTW, Quicktime is SFI rated.

Minus 125 lbs on the front end, I would think any car would handle and brake better on the street or track. Forgetting about the better ET's too, when that time comes. I'm very happy with my decision.

As for my middle section, I'm A OK there.
