Hey Jim, how u been? if these is a track only car i would get the alignment done to drag specs. i doubt you would see a big difference in 1/4 mile time, maybe a TINY difference and that is a big maybe. but if you drive the car daily you need to fix these things so you dont get stuck on the road and for general saftey on track and street. seems like an honest mechanic, i would ask him the same question you posted to use here take care man.

hey ghetto, whats up? thanks for replying. he is actually a great mechanic and is dirt cheap. i had ball joints all around on a blazer i own replaced by him and was LESS than 1/2 of what good year and monro muffler would have charged. i take everything to him i own that cant do myself. the only thing is i have to wait a little while before getting it back, which is ok. i didnt think it would do much for 1/4 mile times, but thought i would check. this is a daily driven (in summer time if its nice) car. sees the track about 2-3 times a year is all. but i get like 10 runs in though when i go, so it is beat on pretty good. take care
