FTI converter FTW!!


I would not use anything else. I got the front suspension done but still need the rear shocks put in and that should not take long at all.

Cool! Its always nice to have a few people out there to hang out with.

Anyway Thursday night was not to bad but I still had some good tire spin. I was still able to run 6.8 on a 1.67 60'. I did go back Saturday night and the track prep was much better, I was able to run a few 6.6's on some mid 1.4 60' times @ 107mph even ran a 6.7 with a passenger!! I was able to drive the car home so it has been another few good nights at the track.

It is stock it just has a bad exhaust leak!! LOL. If I would have known it was you guys I would have stayed around a little longer, I was tired and ready to get home you guys have to remember im old!! I always roll through there on my way home if I go to the track next time I will stay and hang out with you guys a little. I dont try and keep my car a secret hell I drive it every day if I would have stayed a little I would have told you guys ALMOST everything it has and for that matter you can look in the sig and see most of it. LOL. You have to keep a little unknown.

I knew it was cammed and stalled just from hearing you pull in. I was just about to ask if you were on here when that guy had to leave. we are normally up there every saturday night. I may join you at the track saturday for some t&t. if I can get my rear u-joint replaced by then. it's been making alot of noise lately so hard launches may not be a safe thing on it. I ran a best of 8.70 with just the cat back on shitty small tires when I first got the car, so now with some free mods, tranny cooler, bigger tires and a driver mod (know how to launch the car a little better now) I'm hoping to get into the 8.60's

I hate to say for fear of being banned lol. just going with the "replica" headers. from what I have seen they have the same fitment issues as the name brands except for Y pipe fitment. I was planning on taking the car to Tmec for a custom Y anyways. for what I would pay for a generic one, they can build one fitted to my car with better clearance. I plan on lowering the car about an inch so I will need all the clearance I can get

plus I have to stop forgetting that my t/a is just my daily, and I need to stop spending all my money on it. I need to finish my c10. the c10 will far exceed the t/a in the power department

I know I can. I'm not worried about the reliability factor. I've just been spending all my project money on the t/a. I need to start putting together my lower end in the truck. forged 400 internals aren't the cheapest, especially .060" over ones. plus I need to get the truck done so whatever I can't beat with the bird, I can tell them to wait while i go get my raddy old truck

the goal is t/a in the 11's, truck in the 9's
