Well She's Finally Back Together
Some of you know and some of you might not know the car and the wheel studs got into a fight. ARP studs of course (12mm). Well the car won.....
Thank God it happened at a stop light. Started moving and heard a LOUD noise... pull over and the wheel is about to fall off.
All 5 studs sheered off at the axle flange.
Finally after a 2 1/2 hr ordeal the car arrived home unheart from the trip on the flatbed...(awsome tow truck driver)
With a quick call to Stenod Performance i was taken care of in a jiffie
My axles arrived back from Strange on Thurs with 5/8 studs....
Now some of you are thinking..... what does this have to do with FI.....
Well while the car was down i installed my Fabbed valve covers from Nasty Performance and my Catchcan setup.
Moved the Coilpacks off the valve covers and under the cowl.....
I just wanted you guys to see the finished look.
And yes its a street car..... drove it 75 miles Sat. Night all over town....

After they broke i was chatting with Harlan and he was telling me how before he had bigger studs they would start to bend after a few passes at the track..... the stock size (12mm) isnt strong enough for beyound 600HP.
