So I picked up the 550 from the dealer today and the car runs FLAWLESS!

They balanced all four wheels and that made a huge difference.
They did the brakes and that too made a huge difference.
They calibrated the tranny and the thing runs perfect.

Now, I'm going to install the SB and see how she runs.

Thanks! I wish I understood exactly why she runs "perfect" now.

Not yet...if after I install it this second time she runs like crap, then I'll know it's the SB and not the car!

I really don't think you need the SB in there. You have a powerful engine already why leave it to chance. Enjoy that ride as is.

Only my opinion.

Ok, it's on there...made sure connections were tight and went driving....the car runs perfect...I ran the car for about 30 minutes through traffic and some twisty open backroads...PERFECT.

Slick...I don't have the work order with me...must've left it at my parents house....I'll ask them to fax it to me on Monday!

What did the dealership tell you that it did or fixed?
