You can get the AE tools at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Team-Associate...sociated+tools) and its only $35. The nut driver 11/32" is a must for you wheel nut. Cheers...

The b44 is very competitive right out of the box with zero upgrades. The best thing you can possibly do besides maintaining your car and having the correct tire package is 1) to find a setup for your track and 2) practice with the car and that setup. Practice appexing the corners, finding the correct braking points, etc. Accomplishing this is the best upgrade you can possibly get.

I have a question I need clarified. I'm converting a .1 with the avid chassis and I'm going to be running the triad slipper. Will I need the spacer for the slipper as well?

It was too loose? Baseline setting to work from is 1/16 turn out from bottomed out in the front and 1/8 in the rear.
Not pry bar bottomed out tight... but tightened all the way down within reason and 1/16 out F and 1/8 out R.
These diffs like to be pretty tight to run right and not bark.
