Default some small weekend plans

a couple things im doing this weekend..remove spare tire and jack, remove front sway bar, remove bumper supports, remove windsheild washer fluid....

in shop class right now im also building a BMR style battery tray to mount my battery where my spare tire was...its going to be super light i will be posting some pictures.

Also buying a used SLP lid for cheap from a buddy.

November 18th when i get paid im ordering UMI SFC's from summit and M/T drag radials and new front tires... well thats pretty much a wrap for what i have planned in the near future.


...oh ya and a 99 N/A 4.6 DOHC cobra at my school says my ls1 is slow so im gonna have race him when i get those couple things done...let me know what you guys think.

if he is only bolt on you should be able to take him now, 4.6's are pretty weak.

Look up some free mods, every little helps. You ls1 with lid and a few weight reductions should be bottom 13's. His 99 cobra if its a 4 valve should be good for 13.8-14.2 depending on driver. Do you know if he has any mods?

If you are just now removing your spare tire and you don't even have a lid, I would definitely hold off on the windshield wiper reservoir. It only weighs a few lbs, and thats something you will definitely wish you had at times unless this thing is a dedicated racecar... Just my $.02.

I daily drive mine with no windsheild washer...take it out.

If anything there are many many gas stations that have those windsheild cleaners, it doesn't take a few seconds to pull over there if you have to. I really haven't had issues having a dirty windsheild, I drive all seasons...

Oh are you the one from union...whats up man. put that car on a quick diet and get the air lid and have me do your throttle body...she'll rip! I do have a ported maf...steve picked up 8rwhp when i did the one on his car, but he also had headers so you have to consider that with the gains we saw.

what stall are you looking at? I would also do headers if you can, or do headers first with full exhaust. the stall will throw that car in the upper rpm's and without headers it may start to slightly run out of steam. either way you need both!!!
