I noticed it driving around town, I noticed it on the freeway interchange overpasses, I noticed it parking, backing up, pretty much any time that I was turning the steering wheel. It makes the steering wheel harder to turn and you have to fight it when driving. I like driving my car and not having to fight the car. To each his own, I dumped it and went locker.

I never notice it anywhere except sharp turns I thought about a locker but when it came down to it these cars don't handle for **** compared to what I'm used to so I said screw it this is built to go straight anyways.

Get 5/8 studs for the weight of our cars we need it. Worst thing would be to break wheel studs and put you in the wall

I did get the 5/8 3" long drag studs a while back when I ordered the package. Now gotta order arp third member housing studs. The ones they sent are junk and threads stripped off before I got the studs pulled all the way in.

Studs shouldn't be stripping screwing them in. Do you have any pics?

Either way I don't see it being much more than a 370ish so those turbos will work well with all. I just had sold my original s475 kit and needed to reinvest the money before it got sucked up on something else. Jose told me those turbos were good to 1700 flywheel on a small to mid cube setup if I pushed them. I wanted to go s472s but he talked me down. Said I was talking way to big for them to actually be useable on a street/strip car. That's why I like calling Forced Inductions. He could have made more money on the others but he told me what I really needed for what I wanted.

Nice to see some more S366 builds. I went with the 71 turbines with the divided .91 housing and twin scroll manifolds. It's on a stock 6 liter. I wanted them in boost early for the street and foot brake. Should be on the street in about a month.

Mid 8's at 155 sounds nice.

The studs that hold the third member on. There are 10 of them. 3/8 in size. They have splines that lock them in when you get them pulled in. Now are we clear on what I'm talking about lol?

I noticed the first time you said 3rd member. So are they pressed in or screwed in? It sounded like you were screwing in studs and they stripped and that shouldn't happen.

I'd say close to 30 pounds each if was guessing. Little awkward to hold for the pictures.
