I think a fan switch will do you better especially while staging, heard good stuff about the seafoam just do all parts and was planning to do it myself.

lol sea foam, just the thermostat and taking stuff off, there will be no hp or trq improvment with any additive. except for a friction modifier but so minimal you will not see it in track times or trap speeds

NOS 5177 kit or any Wet kit of your choice would make the car fun at LA Invasion. A nice 100-150 Hit would do wonders.

Seafoam will be good for your car, but I doubt you'll notice anything. An electric pump is good to bring temps down during staging. If you are getting a torque arm, you should throw on some lca's while you are at it.

id say either nitrous or suspension ****, like a adj torque arm, lca's, subframes and a panhard bar.

SEAFOAM does not do **** lol, its just soapy water that makes smoke,

ahh i can see the carbon just burning away and somehow free's sticking valve and piston rings.

your time and money could be spent doing more effecive things like installing nitrous and new plugs

Not so Fast Buck.

Looks like ti could be a short day for you and me. The track is saying 13.49 fro convertibles. faster than that you need a 5pt roll bar.

Not looking like I will be getting mine installed in time and if I get the Cam in SOM I will get one run each

I'll be in the Beer Garden if anybody needs me
