Those goodies should enhance the looks and performance.
My goal is to get into the 11's in the 1/4 mile(2300 ft above sea level).
Should be do able.

 

Dang dude you dont mess around haha. Sounds like a killer set-up!

 

Sounds like your rubbing it in a bit. I am jealous that I can't afford those mods! Should be awesome!

 

Nice list..... you could consider some kind of header since you're going to change the motor mounts- easy to do it while you're under there.

 

I used up my budget(and then some). I'll do the headers in a couple of years when I do a built short block.

 

What about gauges?

 

Hey nice setup man! Where is sherwood park? I'm in lethbridge and we're at 3000 feet here.

 

About 4 Km's east of Edmonton.

 

Gauges? Gauges? We don't need no stinking gauges!! I have a hard enough time keeping my eyes on the road, tach and speedo. That's why you get a good dyno tune.

 

Def some nice goodies!!!

 

You may not need them but they are super useful

 

Yeah it was a toss up between gauges or a one piece drive shaft and loop. The DS won this time out. I'm sure some gauges will be in the next round along with 4.10 gears. But that won't be until next spring.

 

Go big or go home right? Haha

 

Just curious, why the 4:10's with an HO whipple, Ur gonna be spining like a crack pipe

 

Not with the M/T 295/45-17's bolted on. There's a few guys running Whipples with 4.10's. Might go 3.90's. Lots of time to figure it out. I'm pretty excited about getting her on the road this spring. I booked my dyno tune for Apr 21.

 

Are those drags?

 

Drag radials-ET Street. Last year I was launching at 4500 at the track and getting very little spin. My tune was crap and my car didn't start to pull hard until it was at 3500 rpm. I'd leave good then she'd fall on her face. Oh well, the track opens May 4th so we'll see then how the extra torque effects her. Except usually the first night sucks because the track prep is not so good.(not enough fresh rubber and VHT).

 

Good deal

 

Dude, your not going to need 4:10's with the whipple. TRUST me......

 

I was thinking he will probably realize that once he adds the cooler and ups the boost!
