    Magnaflow or flowmaster???

    Another vote for Magnaflow. My car with full length headers and the 2.5" SS magnaflow system with X pipe sounds great. At idle the car has a nice mellow rumble not to loud. No perceptible drone at cruising speeds... However when you mash the pedal..Katy bar the door it sounds mean :nice...

    what do you think of this bitchered 66?

    In a weird sort of way it is a compliment to the cars that we all love.. I am assuming of course that this car was not born as a rare/desirable Stang. Scott

    My car in a magazine!

    The car is in the October issue of Popular Hot Rodding. This issue is on the news stands now. Unfortunately I lack the skills to post pics and the article from the magazine. Here is a link to some pics and info on my car. :D http://www.lateral-g.net/members/stites/...

    My car in a magazine!

    I just had to share this with you guys. Popular Hot Rodding Magazine ran a 7 page feature on my car in their October issue :nice: I took my car in June to National Trails Raceway outside of Columbus Ohio for the True Street Challenge. The guys at Popular Hot Rodding gave my car their...

    Wheel Hop..

    Decided not to try the spring clamps. No offense but I just do not care for the "look" even if it does resolve the problem.. I am fed up with this wheel hop problem. Everything else on this car is great :nice: It drives me crazy that I cannot jump on it w/o fear of breaking something...

    Wheel Hop..

    What did you do to resolve the wheel hop on your kids car.. I am taking it easy on the car until I resolve the problem. You can only imagine how hard it is to resist jumping on it! Scott

    Wheel Hop..

    The Koni's are hydraulic.. I am going to install a set of the spring clamps this weekend. I really do not like the look of the clamps but if it resolves my problem I can then go ahead and install a new set of leafs with confidence... Scott

    Wheel Hop..

    Question.. Does using spring clamps on the leafs essentially do the same thing as installing stouter leafs on the car??

    Wheel Hop..

    WOW! nice times:hail2: I realize that my car is not set up for the strip. It is more of a pro-touring type car. It handles the curves pretty well for an older car.. Maybe I am just being shallow but I would like to have a mid 12 or better time slip:rolleyes: Scott

    Wheel Hop..

    I wanted to post up my track times in order to provide more info.. Best run 13.2 with a 110 mph trap speed and a 2.2 60' time. This was with a 3.25 rear end. I went thru the traps in 3rd gear @ approx 5600 rpm's. I have since installed a 3.89 gear set which I believe will make a big difference...

    Wheel Hop..

    Nice looking FB! I wonder what made the difference? The spring clamps or the shocks? (or both) I am hoping that I can hang on to my Koni's as they were pretty expensive. They are supposed to be a good shock. Are the spring clamps just a inexpensive quick fix for a weaker set of springs...

    Wheel Hop..

    Thanks for the response and the compliment on the RWHP #. However thanks goes to FRPP as this is one of thier crate engines (M6007-c347) I am very happy with this engine :nice: I don't have lowering blocks. Do you think that a stouter leaf spring will resolve my problem? It kind of...
