Time to hit it out of the hole now.

Also, I couldnt be happier with these MT radials. No problems with the N2O out of the hole, and somehow the 10-bolt is holding up.

I've never had the car weighed, but I'd guess somewhere around 3200. Aluminum block/heads, no A/C, some plastic interior pieces not there etc... But it does have both front seats and I have to have a stereo.

A window switch is good insurance. I doubt anyone could let out of it fast enough if a driveshaft was to give up.

What Torque Arm set-up do you have? I do remember my stock clamshell t/a mount exploding the very first time I sprayed at the line.

Spohn got a call after that one. I guess I should have mentioned that before I tell you to hit it out of the hole. lol

Hey StngKlr, what headers are on your car? - I'm thinking of the same swap with 1&7/8 pipes and don't want to have to build something.

Thanks

01-02 manifolds. Infact, everything is stock on/in the motor. Headers are'nt out there for our cars with GenIII's in them. One company makes them and they are pricey and only 1.75 primary's and 2.5 collectors.

Making them is about the only option.

All susp. is bone stock I think the shocks are 87' original. so if my tourque arm doesnt come through the floorboard and a axle doesnt snap I should be happy what ever it runs?

I thuoght he was askining if the early lq4 (iron heads) and the later lq4 had the same bottom end. I think they are the same. Lq4 and Lq9 are different.
