intake mani and gears are in!! and another question

[96darkhorse]

well we finished up on sat afternoon, double checked everything.....took it around the block for a spin.....the throttle feels nice, the car feels lighter, it seems like it wants to rev...i love it!!!! i can actually pass cars in 5th gear now! i hope i didnt hurt any performance with that 1" spacer.....got to take it to the track now

oh yeah it was 373 gears and edel performer intake

ohh yeah...i got some double adj upper control arms that i have lying aroudn...i was gonna wait to buy some lowers so i can put'em at the same time but money is tight right now so i wont be buying the lowers soon....you guys think the uppers will be a big difference and a big help with traction??? thanks guys

every little bit helps.

but the main thing with the dubble ajustables is that you set them up right.

ill probablly get someone to install them, i dont know how to mess with pinion angle, i might mess something up

 

[mootang]

in that case, they definatly couldn't hurt.

hey mootang, i might go to irwindale this thurs.....i never taken this car to the track before, so where do think i should launch at? i have 295/35/18 bfg zr4's ....i heard that in street tires, launch should be from idle, what do you think?

 

[mootang]

just keep out of the water box and launch very soft. I get better times by bogging out than i do when i spin.

 

[mootang]

post your times if you end up going!

good luck!!

Your UCA's are mainly for rear axle deflection (side to side movement, that wiggling feeling from the rear end when coming out of a corner fairly aggressively) if I remember right. I don't think it will help very much with straight line performance, that's what the lowers are for.
