AI heads are impressive. I plan on running them cut to 60cc flycutted with a RapTR cam. But a FLT/RPM 4L60 has to go in first... Mines starting to go.

I got them from Brent Franker. Go to Google and search for his name and his website will come up. They are great quality and they stuck awesome with no issues.

With the MWC 9" I think you probably got some 1.4's in it

It'll be squared away soon and time to put on the MT's

Yea I haven't decided on tires yet, going 28" though.

I'm switching to 4.30 gears since I don't spin the motor high enough for 4.56s. I'll only be turning 6500ish rpm to prolong the life of my new motor with stock rod bolts still.

I'm also getting their weld in anti roll bar, phb, lcas, and the short tq arm, so I will hopefully pull the tires too. I've got Bilstein HD shocks, and sam strano springs that need to be swapped out for QA1's.

I also am wanting to do quite a bit of weight reduction. At least a good 150 lbs to start with before next track outing. I did some math and came up with 380ish lbs to come off pretty easily still. Includes pin on hood, lightweight drivers seat, no cage tho, lightweight carpet, abs delete, heater box delete etc etc...

I would avoid the QA1's. I highly recommend AFCO's. Single adjustable are around $199 ea, and the doubles are around $299 ea. It will be money well spent when nailing down the 60ft. The rest of the MWC components are the same I ran, with the exception of the torque arm. Eric and I chose the long version based on the HP I was making. The short arm will be perfect for you, and has a tendency to really leverage to the rear. Perfect for maximum traction.

Sounds good thanks for the info. I have actually been recently reading about people having issues with the QA1's.. For the AFCO's should I run the single or double adjustables? Or singles in back double up front etc. This will still be a street car.

It comes down to money. If you can spring it, get the doubles. That gives you complete rebound and compression adjustment on separate *****. The singles have one **** that adjust both rebound and compression. You can fine tune a lot closer with the doubles.
