    H Pattern Is A Thing Of The Past?

    Is the H pattern dead? Well, the entire "true" manual is on it's way out, so, yes, H will go with it. I don't see that shifter being a bonus outside of fully race oriented clutchless no-lift-to-shift transmission anyways, and that arena is plenty competitive as it is. If I've got $2500 for a...

    Manual Brake Coversion - Pros And Cons?

    Look, I'm no cam expert, but there has to be more to it than that... My previous cam was pretty snorty (273/273, 224/224, 507/507 109* installed at 106*) and had no power brake issues. Cam in my dad's 5.0 is pretty sporty (263/265, 214/216, 507/507 111* installed at 106*) and has no power brake...

    Manual Brake Coversion - Pros And Cons?

    It's pretty rare to see folks running a cam "bigger" than what I am on the street (286/286, 250/254, 673/648 107* installed at 105*), and my factory power brakes work just fine. So, I'll ask, just how much cam are you looking to run? Give Buddy Rawls a call, and tell him you want to keep the...

    Must Admit

    oh, I was not full power shifting, slight lift, it would still rev between gears, crunch going into the next and scratch the slicks on every gear change, so, certainly not babying it

    Must Admit

    If the car is stock, you can get away with being pretty aggressive with relative safety. I probably had over 300 track passes on slicks (5000-6000rpm launches, depending on track conditions) with nothing upgraded but the clutch and shifter. If it has a stock shifter, banging gears can bend...

    Darn you! Now I'm looking at them again! The air cooled are too much given the mileage, but... Found a super low mile 1 owner 997 S local, 6spd, ceramic brakes, chrono package... for a very fair price... darn you!

    Gt500 In A Fox?

    I simply like n/a engines... so rather than a GT500 that pulls ~120hp when it's warm, I think you need to do an Aluminator XS swap... 580 n/a hp's, 8200rpm... now we're talking.

    Suspension Suggestions Needed

    I can see why you are confused. The description for the 2 adjustable arms is the same, but they clearly are not. As 5L5 noted, extreme has spherical bushings at both ends (great on the track, more harsh on the street), while the HD has spherical at the axle, poly at the chassis (good compromise...
