I had a BAD chiro experience in my 20's, and was extremely leery about getting back into one. I was right there with you, never wanted to step into one again...after about a month and a half of the sciatica not improving, I got a recommendation from a friend, about a chiro she'd been seeing for about 20 years off and on. She has a fairly messed up back, and he's been able to help her. He's a bit of a weird dude, but he plays old rock (Zepplin, Metallica, Deep Purple, etc) on the speakers in the office, so it's not your typical "doctor" type of thing. I like that he's not trying to just do an hour long adjustment, just a quick adjustment on either side once a visit, but 95% of the time, is on therapy items like stim, ultrasound, stretching, type of stuff. Far less chiro, IMO, and more sports medicine-esque.
That's the kind of place I used to go to, more of a personalized mom/pop office than an official one. When he retired a friend referred me to an affiliated Chiro, so started to go to an official office that's part of Northwestern Medicine. Been seeing him for about 3-4 years now, and have been happy.

Edit, he also does some sports medicine and has some PT equipment in his office, so a nice all-in-one. I can PM you his info if you need/want it.

Got numbers for my car from the insurance, trying to decide on what to do......
Three weeks since my wife’s accident and we are still waiting for an offer. We got a rental Jeep GC Limited so we ain’t complaining. Are they giving you options? We figured we are going to get screwed because our minivan isn’t worth much. Our lawyer told us we couldn’t really negotiate offer??

Yeah, my first go around was affiliated with I believe Northwest Community or was recommended by Blue Cross at the time. I was there for 2 months, and couldn't relieve a back spasm. Went to my GP, got low grade muscle relaxers and was cured in 2 days. I was furious. Then the chiro tried to fuck me on billing, needless to say, I was not impressed...and this was a bigger place too, that was more "professional"

But yeah, shoot me over any info, if you don't mind. Anything I can do at this point...

They sent me a file with 6 comps that were similar (or as similar as they could find since not many of them out there) and then gave me an averages value plus whatever mine had over those. Then they gave me a buy back number. I’ve read a few things that say you can try to negotiate both value and buy back. They also hit me with they need the rental back by the end of the week which seems like bs. I think I’m going to try and argue that too. I don’t even have money yet to buy a new vehicle and you’re going to take away my transportation? This is only week two of actually having it and that took nearly 3 weeks to actually get one from them.

None of that sounds anywhere near the indicated rpm
3.23'S make for a long 2nd and 3rd gear. Needs something like 3.90 or 4.10's to take advantage of the cam.

If anything the tach is slower than the engine actually revs. Though, 3rd doesn't rev so fast that the tach is behind. But 1st gear is damned impossible to actually shift at 6800. I usually short-shift it so I don't bang off the rev-limiter. I usually try to keep it 6500-6800 for shifting for max power. But it can spin to 7200 if I let it.

I'll bet it was actually retarding the timing by about 3-4* due to false knock. Its always picking up false knock from either the headers, or the valve-train which is pretty noisy. I'm afraid to tune it out though in-case it really does encounter real knock.
