Had a weird clunk on the right rear. Thought it was exhaust, but it turned out to be the right side swaybar has snapped near where it bolts up to the frame. :nonono:

So, I've ordered a Steeda HD swaybar, and should be here tommorrow. :nice:

On the good side I was finally able to get the base timing off 10* up to 12*, and noticed a nice difference from across the power band. I'll have them move it up to 14* when I get the swaybar install, and see what happens with that.

I'd like to get it dyno'd but the cool weather is fading fast. So, I'll probably wait till fall to spend the $ to see what the dyno sez.

I base lined it at 281/308 a weeks ago with the Mac LT's and a O/R ProChamber mid pipe.

I took the Pro Chamber off and put my O/R Bassani X-pipe back on. The motor runs cooler, and pulls harder from mid range to high end. Now, with the timing it pulls even stronger. I'm estimating about 5 hp with bumping the timing and about 2-3 hp with the O/R x-pipe. Should be close 289 :nice:

Btw - the LT's with the O/R x-pipe is just amazing :banana: It now has a high pitched scream at 3000 rpms, and is not as raspy as with my shortys.
