    Any reason you guys put in the motor without the head unit with bracket in before? I'm sure you guys mocked it up before with belts, etc, right? Not knocking you, as you know I'm a fan of your build, but I would have cleaned that engine bay to be spotless before your motor installed.

    Exhaust Longtubes Lowering Springs And Shocks

    I would personally sell those shocks/springs. I've run them on my 2 of my 3- 2v mustangs. They are horrible at transferring weight and stiff. Look in to used fox body springs and Lakewood shocks/struts. Much better at the strip.

    I'd also add that I agree with Tank. I'm not an expert on the oil pumps for mod motors, but don't skimp there. That will destroy a motor quick. Also, comp had a run of bad springs(comp 918's) for the LS cars for a while. Not sure if it translated over to their other springs, but guys were having...

    My car drove like a stock car. I had a big stick in it, but changed it up. I specd my own cam to idle with basically no lope. I live right on the freeway in the inner loop in Houston, which is top 5 worst places in the country for traffic. My wife also hated my big cam in my Z06. The cam turned...

    No, use it as an extra safety buffer. Don't tune in to Torco. Meth is a bit different.

    Yes, I go by winters"97"GT. We have had quite a few conversations, tell him the stock driveline C6 from Houston that ran 9.6 with a stick and GForce tune.

    Cms Stage 2.5 Blower Cam Idle

    Sounds good with minimal lope. Idle sounds a bit high so that could be why there is little lope. What's the LSA in the cams? Does a stage 2.5 blower cam from CMS, (remember their great NA cams) mean that you're getting the same cams a centri car would get?

    The Age Old Wheel Question.

    Maybe I'm alone, but I think the black bullitt wheels with the chrome lip you had look awesome, and the best.

    I know it's posted it's posted earlier, but what do you plan on doing with your gearing? tank_567. What do the T45 trans go through the traps in 4th at 6200-6600. The reason I ask, is that I was a gear to the moon guy on my 2v cars, NA. My 2v with SVO heads/blower had stock gears, but never...

    tork tech questions

    I agree. 400-500rpm past peak power is really a good starting point for a car to shift. A lot of other factors come in to play with you curve, gearing, etc. but you don't want to shift at or before peak power.

    Torco is a good idea for insurance if you're not using meth.

    Two New Passes

    If spinning down the track like in your video works for you, so be it. I've done my share of racing in many cars from street, strip, to high speed runway racing. I hold the fastest 6 speed C6 1/4 record. I got there by taking criticism and advice over the years from people. Your track prep...

    Two New Passes

    Lol, I don't even know where to start with this reply. Your front tires are the ones dragging water down the track, not your rears. If you did that in front of any of the guys I race with, we would be pissed. If you know what your doing, it obviously doesn't show in your driving ability. And...

    You just need seat time. Those tires should g I'm not sure if you were commenting on his lack of driver or track etiquette driving through the water with front radials like that, doing a burnout in entirely the wrong spot with radials, or just a track thing. If the former 2, I agree, lack of...

    Call Pat G. He has been doing some fantastic tunes. I'd also contact Albert and see when my buddy Bret will be out there next. You can't beat these tuners most likely. It's your build, choose wisely
