Damn I am post whoring. On A ram or any clutch kit it says "RAM HDX Performance Set
RAM HDX Performance Set, Includes Plate, Disc, and Bearing, Rated to 425 HP, 1993-1997 LT1 F-Body - ON SPECIAL with Free Shipping!" Does that mean new pressure plate, clutch disk and throwout bearing? I assumed thats what it was but it says you can use your stock release assembly? <<< WTF is that?

-If you are blowing the tires or slipping the clutch you may really want to consider a rear. I installed my spec 2 and blew my rear first time at the track with very poorly prepped track (fri night T/T). Did absolutly nothing but install the clutch/ Pro Mag 1.6 RR. Was running the gears for over 10,000 miles with not one problem until I got a grippy clutch.
-Since your car is already lowered have you seen the angle of your LCA's? Normally when you lower a F-body you will see alot of wheel hope from the angle of the LCA's. I would look into the drop LCA brackets.
-Adj Torque arm will def help get the power to the wheels I felt an immediate change in torque felt in the butt meter plus the added adjustability for a lowered car.

I get no wheel hop. At all. Ever. If I blow the rear I guess I'll put a junk yard one in it. But like I said I don't go to the track often. So I guess if it breaks, I will break down and spend my vacation money on a 9". But right now I don't want to. So no cage. Get SFCs, TA cover, more spray, clutch, torque arm?

Easy...
Look at your 31 Dec pay stubb - find your wages year to date, and your taxes paid year to date. Then open up a tax return booklet or look online and it will tell you what your tax bill is for your income level. Subtract the taxes owed from the tax paid on your pay stubb... = rough tax refund ammount. (Plus you have to add in any child tax credits, write offs, deductions, etc.)
If you normally take the standard deduction it's pretty easy, just subtract that ammount from your gross income and you should be pretty close to your adjusted gross. (Which is what you'll need to determine your tax bill)

Man, I wish I was getting money back to spend on my car. Instead, I think I'm going to be having to pay somewhere around $1500 to the government. I probably shouldn't be getting ready for a cam install right now. But, oh well. I always seem to get by somehow. lol

$1332 So its filed but can't actually file til the 16th. So I am sposed to have my money in my bank account with 8-10 days after the 16th. Time to blow that hard earned money. Also found out that when we got our stimulus checks I was supposed to get 600 but only got 300 so they are giving me a 300$ credit for my 2009 taxes. That will be nice a year from now.
I think I narrowed it down to SFCs, RAM HDX clutch, TA Cover with studs, o2 sensor for my wideband, get a new bung welded in, more nitrous, and either a new tune or a mallory or msd box that will retard for timing. So if any of yall have one .
So 160$, 400$, 160$, free or 60$, 30$, 75$, 100-200$?
I should have enough.
