    holy cow, okay, so it seems you can buy chrome for every single part out there.. that's an amazing engine bay !! thanks guys for the advice, since I drive my car everyday I think this is going to be my winter project.. I'll definately be busy for most of it.. :nice: also, I cannot...

    engine bay pic, comments please (RC?), show me the bling !

    I'm thinking there's a few things I'd like to do to clean up this engine bay, and that's a new distributor (sitting down here), fixing up the rad support, maybe putting that plastic cover back on, and somehow making that power steering neck a nice colour and the brake fluid reserve.. any other...

    ran my new combo @ Track, results:

    thanks !! I love Tweecer.. :D dude, you're close to 12's.. I can't goto the track till I fix this tranny as I can't even launch higher than 1500rpm's or the tranny kicks out.. so, probably over the winter I'll put in a T500 tranny, spec stage 2 clutch, billet steel flywheel, and be done...

    ran my new combo @ Track, results:

    yeah, the tweecer is the bomb, on timing along you can squeeze so much more out of it, and then add fuel to keep it from pinging.. that mod alone must be worth 10hp / 10tq around torque peak.. :) just curious what was your mph on that 13.9 run? How is Afghanistan? You have internet...

    ran my new combo @ Track, results:

    figured I'd follow up this post a few months later with a more intelligent one.. I've learned a ton since this post, and here were the issues I fixed. (1) vacuum leak; two hoses were split at the connectors to the intake and the tree (2) bdln spark tbl; essentially limits how much timing...

    Where to buy throttle body and what kind?

    having tuned my idle with a tweecer I'd say that its less of a mechanical issue and more of a "how radical" is the guys tune that used that T-body.. it can be tuned out with a chip/tweecer.. (what I'm saying is that some mild combo guys have no probs but certain cam/MAF combo's will have...

    anyone thinking of coilovers

    yeah, you don't.. my 375 pounders up front are comparable to 600 pound springs in the stock location.. but man bilstein is an amazing damper so you can get by with a stiffer spring and not hurt ride quality as much... wow, your dads car is a FOX body right? that's awesome.. must shift @...

    anyone thinking of coilovers

    there's the diff too, 14" long softer springs are good cause they compress so much just under the weight of the car.. mine are like 8-10 inchs long and only compress like an inch or two... is your dads car faster than you??

    anyone thinking of coilovers

    with 175 do you drag race yours exclusively that seems really soft? yeah, 375 up front, its awesome stiff but the bilstein is so good on the road its WAY softer feeling than the eibach sportline spring.. and the 225 out back with the battery box is awesome too, the back-end still sinks on a...

    anyone thinking of coilovers

    yeah, with the next step stiffer strut (The 2003 cobra vs. the sport tuned bilstein) + the 375 vs. 350 spring, the front end is solid.. funny thing is, I have better weight transfer now with this setup than with the eibach's.. (you can feel the rear-end sinking and hooking harder, maybe its...

    anyone thinking of coilovers

    I will 110% agree with that statement.. I did the tokico blues + eibach sportlines setup and on the heavier SN95 that is definately not the setup to go with.. these drive 500% better.. the only setup I've felt come close to these was Koni's + H&R Race springs in terms or ride quality +...

    Where to buy throttle body and what kind?

    is it the t-body that causes the whistle or is it the intake manifold?? in either event I love the whistle sound on mine, goes well with the sucking sound the K&N makes..

    Weld Prostar XP's

    I've seen them (sorry no pics to post) but I'd go the one size wider all around.. ie: 17x9 up front, and 17x10 (not 10.5) if I'm not mistaken out back.. :D

    Ed told me to go with Eaton lifters that he sent me... anyways, mine were 160,000 mile lifters so he said new ones for me!!

    Help Me Pick Some Pipes: X or H

    actually, I'm seeing more and more dyno results that show a good 5+ rwhp OR x vs. OR h pipe.. so basically, a catted x-pipe matches a OR h-pipe.. (good way to get cats!) :D
