    mgw or pro 5 0

    Wanna take me up on the MGW offer? $170 shipped. And I have the race composite GT knob. I'll let it go for 30. It's usually 60. I've owned it no more than a month and it's never been used. Going automatic so I dont need it.

    What inch converter?

    I am getting a C4 (157 tooth bell, case fill, fmVB) I don't know what size converter to go with. Bigger the better? I want it to be lockup with ballooning plates if that makes a difference. My engine is in the ballpark of 320hp if that makes any difference. Thanks Anthony

    What cars had C4s?

    I'm looking to build up a strong C4 with 2800 converter, hardened input, full manual VB, trans brake... The works. Only problem is I don't know where to start looking. It's gonna get rebuilt anyway so I don't want to put out a lot of money for it. Looking to spend $100 including the bell. So...

    how man of you have been asked what cam you have when u have a stock cam?

    people have asked me if I've got a cam. Kinda happens with .544 lift, .240dur and 1.7 rockers. This cam is getting trashed though. It goes a little past the LEGAL lift limits lol.

    WHAT DO YOU DO?!?!

    Ok I'm pulling out my 2.3L T5, stock driveshaft, 7.5 rear and stock shocks struts and control arms. Replacing with PA Comp C4 conversion. 8.8 with Locker and 4.56s. And Aluminum DS + Safety Loop. 90/10 Struts, 50/50 shocks. Weight jacker LCA and some kind of better UCA with torque box...

    Not tech but IMPORTANT...

    Thanks guys. I wish I could move the whole thread to talk now. Anyway, the reason I want to start from scratch is because I regret making it GT. I regret buying a hatch. I just want a badass pristine notch with a big block backed by a C4. Not gonna happen with what I have now. It's just all the...

    Not tech but IMPORTANT...

    I'm throwing in the towel. I bought my 88LX 2.3L 3 long years ago. It hasn't left the garage since I bought it. It was swapped to 302 with TRW flat top pistons, 1.7 roller rockers, Lunati 544 cam, edelbrock carb, performer intake, MSD ignition, battery relocation, GT ground FX + GT wing, sanded...

    Going auto. (Race only)

    So my project car has quite a bit done. The weak link is the stock t5. Instead of putting out a lot of money on clutch packages, new tranny, line-lock, etc. I would rather go auto. I think it'll be cheaper, stronger, CONSISTENT, and more convenient. Sure the fun factor is out but this car will...

    wanting auto...

    I'm building an all-out budget drag car. The weak link right now is my transmission. It's the stock 2.3L T5. I know it's gonna break so I'm not even gonna waste my time. I was thinking why not just be smart and by a brand new automatic from summit with a full manual valvebody and go to town with...

    Backlash and Depth...

    That works I guess. That clears up most of it. Still a little hazy on the right way to get pinion depth with a spool.

    Backlash and Depth...

    Ok I want to fully understand this... Is the backlash how far the PINION teeth go INTO the ring gear??? Is the pinion depth the distance between AXLE centerline and the PINION head. Also how do you get that when using a SPOOL! Last thing, how many in/lbs on the crush collar? Anthony

    5.0 swap questions. (yea yea i know)

    You'll be alright with all the suspension components that are already there. If you want to upgrade your suspension go for it, but wait until you get your 5.0 swap sorted out. I don't know about the whole brake line thing but what I don't know is where you got your 5.0 does it use speed density...

    Longer Axles???

    Im keeping drum brakes. I'll just keep searching for an 8.8 Oh yeah do you NEED c clip eliminators when going to a spool. I would imagine you do but not sure.

    SPOOL and LOCKER...

    Also, can someone explain the difference between mini-spools and full spools. BTW. This is a TRACK car. It will only bei seeing the street to drive TO the track and back home. Streetabitliy is not an issue. Why are spools so cheap and lockers so expensive? And mini-spools are like $30...

    SPOOL and LOCKER...

    What is the difference? I would rather pay $180.00 on summit for a spool than pay $400.00+ for a Detroit Locker. I just bidded on a Detroit locker on ebay. Does anybody have a write up on spools? Thanks

    Trans mount causing DS to hit safety loop? Help please

    Let us know how it goes. I really don't know what to tell ya. Maybe you could somehow change the mounting point of the safety loop?

    Longer Axles???

    I'm currently running a 7.5 rear. So getting this Mark VII would be an upgrade, but then it would suck if axles for a Fox 8.8 don't fit.

    Longer Axles???

    The superior axles are the stock length aren't they? It's just the fact that 8.8 housing is wider so I'm worried the the axles won't make it all the way in.
