i hear ya... im not worried about any of those mustangs... when i was down at the track my car was fast then half of the high output mustangs with slicks and some were spraying. I need to talk to someone who ALOT about lt1's and tell me what is the dest street cam i can get for a daily driver. Devil Dog is right... i do live in mustang country and i am about to go crazy and buy a forced injection if they dont stop riding my *** and reving in front of my house. LOL ill put a 150 shot to it!

I am getting ready to install a 95' s10 torque converter 2300 rpm... and i can buy a NOS kit for $400... is that a good deal? all the kits i price is 6 to 8 hundred... is there any thing i need to do to prep my car for nitrous?
Those times were at LACR raceway, I also have some passes on my gtech with a best of 9.2 at 82mph, still a far cry from a sub 9. I also ran a 13.9 in the 1/4 at 101 and some change a while back before I got any of the suspension stuff or the heads and clutch, but that was with a once in a lifetime 2.1 60' time(but this was also in Orlando so very close to sea level).
What the hell am I doing wrong??? With the mods I should be in the mid 13's shouldn't I???
Sorry man not trying to steal your thread, I have no idea what would be a good cam for these cars...

geedub - If you're posting in a thread, there's never a need to make two posts back to back. Just go back and edit the original to insert any kind of information you want.

Will net you no power, they will make the car stiffer, and flex less. My driver door skin popped off to the door trim, along with a friend of mines car. He also has a pic of his car launching and looks like he has a firebird trunk, because the flex was so bad. That was the pass his door skin about came off.

I just got some nitto drag radials, I'm gonna try that and see what happens, hopefully I won't spit my rearend all over the road. My cars a manual so the stall is not an option....
I already have weld in SFC, the tubular ones from BMR, they have done wonders for chassis rigidity.
I'm trying real hard to stay away from the laughing gas, but it is tempting...
