    Replaced the 17x8s with 17x9 Bullitts out back on the 88 GT

    I'll keep my ears peeled. :) What's your suspension setup? I'm considering the MM Sport Box.

    Good decision! :nice: I'm down in Dacula, maybe I'll see you around.

    Professional Products Intake?

    I tend to agree, but it would help if Edelbrock wouldn't price it like it's made out of platinum.

    Bad Vibration at 70+ MPH

    Might be simple to check, but not so simple to replace! :eek:

    Bad Vibration at 70+ MPH

    I had too much backlash (.020) and moving it down to around .015 took away my gear whine on decel. You might want to check that. While I was in there I checked the axles and one of mine was bent pretty bad, .070 in the center if I supported the ends and spun it. After that, most of my...

    Bad Vibration at 70+ MPH

    If you are sitting still with the clutch in does it do this? If so, definitely check the harmonic balancer on the crank pulley. Mine does this and I have new one on the way.

    Vibration problem

    Does it behave the same way when stationary and with the clutch in if you rev it up? If it does, then that would eliminate everything from the tranny backwards and you can focus on flywheel, pressure plate and crank damper. With my car, it's been alot of little things and after each step it...

    Update: checked tonight and the old PCV valve was caked solid shut and there was no screen. That explains the oil leak.

    There's no reason to. The CF II can handle more power than a 5.0 block. :D I hear those are brutal. Actually I didn't mind the KC too much, I just figured since I'm replacing, go for one with lighter pressure.

    Same day as FFW at Commerce? :( I used to be in the SVTOA that met up there.

    My car had the KC when I bought it. Pedal pressure was brutal and then I put in new motor mounts and without realizing it I rerouted the clutch cable to under the mount, which I've read is the best way. I noticed a huge reduction in effort. Might become a dd, I can't decide. I've got...

    Man, that's what I'm afraid of. :fuss::fuss::fuss: I'm also going to put in a new PCV valve to make sure crankcase pressure can get out.

    I sat in a car with a Ram HDX last night and I would agree. However I decided to go with a Centerforce II. A little more $$$, but should be worth it. I called the CF tech line and the guy said DF would be more clutch than I need.

    I'm probably going to do both just to be sure. Thread locker on the threads and some RTV on the threads hear the head of the bolt. Also doing the Teflon main seal. Everything else is pristine back there. The previous owner had pulled the motor and cleaned it up nicely.

    I am looking for minimum pedal pressure and I keep hearing Centerforce is best in that regard. I know a guy with a Ram HD, so I'm going to sit in his car and see how I like that one.

    Thanks everybody. I did notice that the flywheel did have some oil weeping from the bolts on the clutch side, so maybe that did it. I'm doing a new main seal and checking out the PCV valve to see if it is clogged and causing the leak. I'm leaning towards either the Centerforce DF or Ram HD...
