Well I finally got my boost and fuel pressure guages in.Damn no wonder this thing hits so hard at 6000.Its hitting over 9lbs of boost.To bad the rev limiter shuts it down right after. (well that really isnt a bad thing tho.Prolly blow it up after that.)

I might take you up on that. If I can, I'll take some measurements of them and calculate the rate. Or, if you know the make and model, I can get the rates from the manufacturer.

Dan, I measured the wire size and th enumber of coils but I can't seem to find the numbers now. I will try and rememeber to look at them at work again this week and give you the raw numbers or maybe even the final spring rates if I feel froggy.

I'm going to have to dig up some tires if I want to continue to AutoX....I looked at mine after Sunday, not pretty. I'm in same boat as Glenn, 4yr old tires, mega miles on them and hard as a rock

Kevin, do you have a spare set of wheels for some auto-x tires so you can "save" your street tires? That's the route I 'm going.

Yeah, the split spoke 17s are my autoX wheels, the street tires are 16s on the oh so beautiful '99 GT flat pony wheels. I'm a cheapo so, I'll prolly see what I can scrounge up used, but that's not going to be for awhile, since I just started my new job this past Monday.

I think they have a few more runs in them, IF I don't drive like I did this past Sunday. I didn't feel as bad after I saw the Viper loop it, though

You are the man Glenn. But don't get too in a hurry about it. The parts won't be here until next week and it'll probably be another week before I can get the time to install it all. Whenever you think about it is fine.

Heater core

Glenn, you mentioned that I should replace my evaporator while I do the heater core. Is a parts store version acceptable? Ford wants $290, AutoZone has one for $120. I'm not sure if I will even bother with the evaporator anyway. As a college kid, I have more time than money: another 5 hours when it breaks is worth less than $120.

Does this one close any easier than the stock one?

Awesome pics Christina! I'm getting ready to reformat the hard drive (don't ask), but will be back to download a bunch of those. I just burned a bunch of my car pics to disk so I'd still have those. Anyone need about half a gig of various suspension and brake pics?
