I finally got my exhaust system done. It is 2.5" off each bank into one 3" y-pipe into one muffler. The car is quite loud especially from the inside, it's pretty much too loud. I can spin the wheels through 1st gear right off idle just by hitting the gas and my first gear goes to ~47mph...

Sounds like you do want to increase tire pressure. Just because the factory tires are supposed to have 28psi doesn't mean different tires on the same car should. Try running 35+ psi. There should be no problem with driving the car. If anything the tires will provide more traction due to more...

I finished the throttle cable today. It is a Lokar universal LSX cable. I got it to fit in the factory firewall "grommet" and had to weld a tab on the pedal to connect to the cable.

You are the one making subjective comments. As far as I am concerned, you are making irrational judgements.

3 Hours is a long drive. Thats basically what I need to travel to get to Brainerd Raceway or Rockfalls' drag strip. Also, it's not just about the drive time. It costs a lot of money to go to one of those tracks just to put a few 1/4 mile runs in. Then you have track fees, Brainerd is in the...

I think what he means by torque is low rpm torque, not peak torque. The 7M is probably the best stock turbo engine when it comes to low-end torque. Of course there are many other good engines you could experiment with by adding a turbo to. My suggestion would obviously be an aluminum LSX.

Surely as a whole society we label killing "wrong" or "immoral". However that tends to apply almost exclusively to other humans. We do not have such a moral issue with killing insects or animals. We even raise living, breathing, feeling and thinking animals for the sole purpose of dieing to...

I typically don't encourage the usefulness of statistics. However many others require statistics, hence the reason I made the statement. If you disagree with the statement then counter it. I don't know what Rusty Wallace has to do with this. For your information stock car racing is not...

If you can not control your car during simple acceleration in a straight line you may want to consider your abilities to drive in any other situation. Though it may be illegal, street racing is not wrong. That is like saying killing is wrong, yet we all partake in it some way or another...

Is the RCI cell you bought 18-20ga steel with a seamless bladder? A ton of people buy the plastic or aluminum ones thinking they're getting the same benefits.

It is about at the height of the stock fuel tank. If anything it can't be more than an inch lower, still plenty of room.

Couple things. I beleive you meant "couldn't care less" or "could not care less" instead of "could care less". If the Mustang owner had switched to the right lane during the u-turn it would have been an illegal u-turn. That is therefore not an option. By the sounds of it you simply didn't...

I bought at 15 gallon ATL fuel cell with foam, bladder, surge tank and two walbro 255lph pumps. I mounted it by cutting out the hatch floor and making a frame out of 1x1x0.120 tubing. In my opinion, there is no reason to put a fuel cell in your car unless you get one similiarly equipped to mine.

Well, I got my driveshaft back. It is a stock F-body aluminum shaft. I bought a Toyota truck differential flange and had the shaft shortened so it is now 40" center to center (U-Joint centers).

Yeah, I forgot this was a MK2. So then hopefully you are right about the shaft. I too have to remove the engine/trans as an assembly in order to take the transmission off of the engine.

Looks like you have made some good progress. Have you tried setting the transmission up into the tunnel at all yet? There are several fitment issues. The left side transmission mount on the body is in the way badly and will need to be cut out. The shifter will not line up with the factory...

I finally got around to taking pictures of the clutch master install. I needed to modify the pedal bracket to accomodate the bolt pattern along with elongating the hole in the firewall. I was somewhat displeased with the firewall modification but oh well, I can always fill it in later on. I...

I don't have the video. Maybe you or Sam can figure out getting it, then you must send it to me. Stupid, some guy commented on how I am going to ruin my motor by running it right off the head ports. Some people just think they know cars/motors/physics when they don't have a clue.

You are right about the service writers, they work for THEM. Anyone else does not matter, they'll definitly screw you if they have to. I have been working at a Ford dealership for 2 years now and I make 14/hr flat rate. I can hit 60+ hours in a 40 hour week given the work, and given the...

Ok, so what you are saying is "your" engine makes a better use of it's volume than "mine"? What point does that have? It doesn't matter for ANY purpose. That says nothing about how much power an engine produces or how efficiently it runs. I mean, you can compare HP per seat in a car as well...
