Roto joints wouldn't be as bad. I'm doing roto joints on the rear side and poly on the body side. Best combo for a street car IMO

I am actually going to try out the Fragola push lock braided nylon stuff. It is pretty reasonable and looks to be good quality from everything I have read.
Ya i have a couple of those push lock things i liked them a lot but decided to swap all my lines so i never kept them on the car.

Ya its the Torque arm i believe thats the most annoying of the group. That paired with the spool is just a brutal combo! I'm kind of stuck with this arm now though so i'll either have to sell it and buy one with poly bushings or suck it up! LOL

I saw you on HPtuners forum, How do you disable all TM on the engine side?

Took the car out last night for a drive it was awesome! Beat a V10 M5 on the way just toying with it.....Cant ever get full throttle even at 105 started spinning the tires on the highway. Amazing for 8.5 deg timing and barely hitting 7.25psi LOL One thing that already needs to get changed are the gears, Currently have 373s and was almost topping them out. Thinking of 325's or maybe 342's just want something that isnt so annoying on the highway.

Sorry they aren't that clear

Moser 12 spool I believe the 12s only can get 342s or 308s?

Got a quote to change the gears for 375. Think i'm just going to go with the 342's. Id rather a nicer gear for the highway but i really do not want a car that cant 60'

Even though it might help it 60' some a bbc x275 nitrous car cant even pull that kind of gear and a 3.08 is pretty damn steep too, but more doable. I'd personal do the 3.42 and get a good boost controller. If it was a race car that weighed 3200lbs. or less I'd put a glide or turbo glide in it with a 3.73-4.30 rear gear depending on first gear ratio, but it's not a race car unfortunately lol.

The 342s will suck for the highway and probably top out right towards the end of the track which is good.....but 308s would be better for racing bikes on the highway. ill try gear and if I hate it ill have to swap again. Its cheaper than a built 4l80 haha

I still would go with 3.08s but you're right, my 4l80 will cost 10 gear swaps lol

I had 3.55s in my old turbo car and used to murder bikes on the highway, but do what you think is best. By the time you pull 5 cars on a bike they usually let off anyways. With 3.55s on 11psi I crossed the 1/4 mile at 6300rpm. This is also with a 26 inch tire not a 28 inch tire. More boost would of meant more rpm at the traps from converter slippage, but my converter was pretty tight anyways. Just giving first hand experience, your converter must be looser than mine.

I'm going to buy both sets and learn how to do it will be much easier than spending 750 bucks

What converter do you have? Once i run mine at the track i'll know how it reacts a little better.
