    nitrous fuel pressure

    your goal is more than attainable, i went 7.72 in the 1/8th(would be 11.9-12.1 1/4) on a compucar 125shot and bfg DR's with a 2.0 60'

    So what would a shot of nitrous and a 4.30 gear get me?

    what you will get- tire smoke and go nowhere. even with 315 wide BFG DR's and 3.73s the car loses all traction in 2nd gear

    wet or dry nitrous

    i run a 125shot wet compucar kit with no tune just range colder plugs, have sent over 50 10# bottles worth of n20 through it and have zero problems..to date my best time is a 7.72@95, which is close to 11's in the 1/4...

    Quiet off-road exhaust

    +1 for mac flowpaths and pro-chamber, very deep, crisp, clean sound when on the throttle and little to no drone when cruising, i took a 1k mile trip last week and it was great on the highway...and i get compliments from people all the time on the sound...

    Ethanol blended fuel effects?

    i remember the super stallion concept back in 97, was designed to run on 93 or e85 and would make an extra 45hp when on the e85..

    Why not buy 87-95 Alum. DS and swap yoke?

    i dont think they are the same, it may be just the way the pic was taken but the AL one looks a good bit longer

    4.10 not worth it!!!

    yea, if you arent getting traction with drag radials then the sim is clearly flawed. i launch at 3500 on drag radials spraying n20 with 476rwtq and the car doesnt lose traction like the one you have in the sim.

    4.10 not worth it!!!

    here is an example..its not perfect given the 6 month period in between runs...but with stock gears my 1/8th time was 60' - 2.02 1/8 - 8.81 the weather was better for that run than it was for my next comparison run with 3.73 gears, other mods being equal. 60' - 1.98 1/8 - 8.50...

    LCA's any good?

    i went with upper and lowers because there just arent any curvy roads where i live...the roads are flat and straight, no need to have a super handler when the most corner carving i do is making right and left turns onto other roads :)

    which oil do you use. I am debating

    synthetic...one of the high end brands like castrol or mobil one...i change mine every 6-8k and it comes out cleaner than 3k dino oil..

    LCA's any good?

    you didnt go wrong with the UPRs..i have them and love them, they do transmit more road noise and some vibrations more than stock, but the added bite more than makes up for the minimal comfort decline.

    3:73 Install??

    what? you dont think i did my gear install myself and did it fine without knowing how right off the bat? if you have 1/2 a brain you can pay attention to what you're doing and get it done fairly easily..i dont see why people make such a huge deal out of doing it...if 1/2 the people who say its...

    i got used FRPP 3.73s, did the install going in blind having never done it before, used the old crush sleeve, no special tools were needed, although a set of air tools does help...did the install in 3 hours which included 2 trips to parts store for sockets i didnt have...its not THAT hard to...
