    PA racing k-member + stock A-arms, anyone have this combo?

    Anyone have a PA racing k-member with factory A-arms? I would like to know your impressions. Is the ride rougher/bumpier/noisier than stock? Any improvements on handling? Any other issues with normal driveability?

    Video: 4.10's + centri blower; 0-100 mph in 8 seconds; Stock 2V Engine

    Thanks. Good luck with the Novi set-up. 11.2's would be quite an accomplishment with the stock bottom end. I managed 11.3's with slicks, skinnies, and mineshaft quality Cecil County winter air. I'll be adding longtubes this winter, and try for a new best in the spring.

    Video: 4.10's + centri blower; 0-100 mph in 8 seconds; Stock 2V Engine

    My best was about 7.3 at 97 mph (see timeslip below), but that's with slicks and in 40 degree air. 94-96 mph is typical. The video was done with street tires. Starting from 2nd like that easily costed a full second from what the car is capable of. Here are some photos, timeslips...

    Video: 4.10's + centri blower; 0-100 mph in 8 seconds; Stock 2V Engine

    Let's see, 2nd gear reaches ~55 mph at exactly the same time that the rpms reach ~6000. That seems like 4.10 gears to me. RPMs move too slow? Keep in mid that I started from a dead stop in 2nd gear. Also, notice how the rpms move faster and faster as they approach the redline. We can...

    I thought some of you may find this amusing. This was not on public roads, so nothin illegal about it. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/7c03eb62-5604-4ae5-8077-98c5017b2503.htm

    Patching Drag Radials?

    I put a plug in one my ET drags, after it got a hole on the first day that I used them. After a few burnouts, the plug just seemed to melt into the surrounding tire, and now you can't even tell where it is. The tire has been through over 40 passes with no problems, and actually leaks less than...

    Recoating Old Headers

    Is it possible to remove the ceramic coating from an old pair of headers, and get a good, reliable new coat? I was told that the first ceramic coating can react with the metal and screw up the adhesion. That is, even if you think you removed the old coating and are down to bare metal, it...

    Starter heat shields for longtubes?

    I think most of the posts were from 5.0 guys...maybe it was more of an issue with them. Thanks for the reassurance.

    Starter heat shields for longtubes?

    I'll be putting in BBK longtubes soon, and I've been reading about them killing starter motors. Summit sells these heat shields (see link), that you velcro-wrap around your starter...

    How much louder will it be with longtubes on the highway?

    I'm hearing a lot of people say the same thing -that LTs actually made it quieter at cruising speeds, and louder at WOT. That would be perfect (for me).

    How much louder will it be with longtubes on the highway?

    Thanks for the replies. I was really hesistant about LTs because of the noise issue, as well as what I hear about them killing starter motors

    How much louder will it be with longtubes on the highway?

    Right now, I have stock manifolds, bassani catted X-pipe, and a magnaflow catback. Cruising on the highway at 65 mph in 5th gear, it is remarkably quiet. I can carry a conversation inside the car or listen to the stereo with no problems. I'm about to switch to longtubes and an O/R midpipe...

    GT '99-'04 + Sportlines + ET Drags 28-10.5-15 = rubbing?

    Here is a photo of my car on 28" slicks and stock springs. Its a digital photo, so you can zoom in close to see the tire/fender up close. http://quickstreetcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=938&cat=509&ppuser=1238

    GT '99-'04 + Sportlines + ET Drags 28-10.5-15 = rubbing?

    They probably will. I'm using 28" with stock rear springs, and its already pretty tight. A coil airbag might be an option to get more clearance at the track.

    High-rpm shifting -Locked out of gear

    I made a couple of clean 11.60 passes today, followed by a bunch of 12.2's and 12.4's because it was taking me 2-3 tries to shift into gear (1-2 or 2-3). It wasn't grinding, it was just completely locking me out. This used to happen once in a blue moon, but today, it was happening in almost...

    stock clutch with S/C

    My clutch was the first thing to go -it was slipping bad during burnouts. I now have SPEC 3. I'm making 455 rwhp with a centri blower, and drag race with slicks. I still have the stock T45, stock axles, and stock diff. However, the diff was rebuilt two times. The way I see it, its much...
