Endersshadow,

That sounds really good, doesn't sound like there's any rasp to it. Do you have long tubes or cats?

Looking sharp Stealth! I want to tweak my suspension a bit here soon. Maybe some new springs and shocks. What springs and shocks are you running?

Thanks bro! Upfront I have the Strange SA drag shocks with their 300# street/strip spring. In the front the ride height is fully adjustable. Outback I'm running some Competition Engineering adjustable drag shocks with Sam Strano springs and the hose mod.

Well the stance looks A+ bro! I will probably have to adjust my suspension when I hit the track here soon. I don't think my current set up will be worth a damn. Here's a cpl current pics of mine.

As always the car is looking good man! Suprisingly enough I was cutting 1.5 60's with the stock shocks, lowering springs, and all non-adj parts. I haven't been able to try this setup out yet but I am anxious to see how much the car will benefit from it. I do recommend those Strange's, they were super easy to install and are really easy to adjust ride height and looseness/firmness.

I haven't had the car out on the street but I drove it around the neighborhood and it felt a little stiffer than with the stock shocks and lowering springs, I really like the feel of it so far. With the front shocks you can adjust the firmness from 0-9 so you can make it handle well on the street when need be. The rears I have are also adjustable so I set them at a 50/50 setting which is I believe similar to stock. I can't wait to get it out on the road for some real testing but so far it feels very streetable.

I would actually like to have what you've got sitting in your garage.

My strano/bilstein package is actually gonna hurt my 60ft time cause I will have even less weight transfer on the launch with stiffer suspension. If anything like stealth said for launching stock springs and shocks would be better but I like a pro touring car so Im willing to give up some 60ft time at the track to be able to pound the twisty roads

Adding my 95 Formula Convertible A4 to the list. Got it last week. Supposedly only mods are magnaflow cat-back, shift kit, manual fans, !thermostat, and unknown tune (possibly Hypertech).
Car desperately needs right size tires (235-45-17 on it now), and I plan on getting a cable and pulling the tune from it so I can compare it to the stock tune and the MadZ28 tune from the 94 TA I previously owned. Also bought a 160 degree thermostat for it, and plan to remove the manual fans, so it does not melt down while wife is driving it.

Here is a picture of the Formula:


Here is a picture of my old 94 TA:


Funny, forgot I had already posted my old car in this thread, but found it while looking through my old posts for tire reviews.:

How many others have more than one LT1 f-body in this thread?

Wow beautiful vert formula! While you're comparing tunes you might as well adjust the fan temps

Thanks! Gotta agree...hope to keep it for a while!
Yea, I will be adjusting fan temps if not already set, and change some other things as well. Pretty sure 94 and 95 tunes are same, just need to verify.
