i cant answer ur tranny question, but it looks like u got a great deal on the max.welcome to the .org. in my experience, i havnt had much help from the "im new here" thread. try searching some of the tranny threads and finding a member who seems like they know theyre stuff, and is recentlly active. ask a couple of them for some help. thats how i get alot of help. once again welcome to the .org, its a great community here.
