That's the clutch I have on the '89. Just be aware that you do hear the centrifugal weights when you push the clutch in and out. It's not bad at all, but there is a noise that's hard to describe when you operate the clutch.

And you spent that much money on a radiator that you didn't need...

With the Fluidyne and JBA's, I'll have big time bragging rights just like the Jedster!

I like the ceramic ones too (I think Jed has these), but it's an added expense so I have to go the cheaper route. Still, it'll look way better than stock. And that's what these shorties are, just for looks.

Those unequal length headers will give you some minor HP gains... probably close to 10 at the flywheel.

These are the only CARB approved shorties on the market.

IMO those dont look very good, theyre just too jumbled, but being in Califas, it's your only choice...so go for it.

Congrats Tom! Pullin' the front wheel!!


On the JBA Stainless, they don't rust, right? Then heck, they'll look 1000% better than the rusty (actually good flowing) manifolds.

For the price, plus Jed's discount, you can't beat it. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on these.

Alright... Drum ROLL please!

Car dyno'd at:
440 RWHP
380 RWTQ

On an extremely conservative tune. Even after he tuned it he took some degrees out and timing(is that right? I forgot how he said) and came with those numbers. I think he had it at one point over 450rwhp and just about 400 rwtq. Are delete plates worth buying into? Add any extra umph?

I haven't even gone 100% WOT. I worked all day and got to jump on the highway on the way home. It moves to 100 mph without hesitation! Just goes. But I haven't completly floored it yet. Its alot to take in at once!

I'm also being a girl and dont want to break my new toy. I'm sure I'll get over it soon enough. But DANG its a new car!

Pictures after I'm out of finals and a car washing. Which is Monday. I have the GMS strut bar in transist. Should really look nice together.

It sounds sooo nice at 40mph and under it whistles awsome. And when I was doing my highway merges the BOV sounds sick. I dunno, I'm just excited!

Haha

they are made out of 409 stainless, so they will stain/rust a little bit. If your going for the look you could have the stock units powdercoated. A guy on modfords had a set powder coated and ported. look good especially if you want to save some cash
