The lines are not flaring worth a **** and as ya know, you only have so many chances to try before you run out of line. lol. So any tips for flaring the OLD STOCK lines then please please please let me know.

I am installing a Strange Dana 60 and I might just throw a cam into the 163K LT1 just to see what happens.

might actually hook up the nitrous next year.

Default winter project

Well im pulling out the tci streetfighter and putting in a PY3600, removing eibach pro kit and putting in eibach drag launch kit, removing 42lb motorsport injectors and putting in 42lb racetronix injectors, trying to find an ultra z hood to replace my ss style hood, then swap the morosso cai for a ram air setup for the hood. Getting rid of 17" transam wheels and going with some drag wheels, fine tuning the computer, if theres enough money left I'm going to put in a roll cage.

If anybody wants any of the removed parts let me know I'm selling them all.

In a way, I'm doing the best mod of all.

Im not spending a dime so I can hopefully save enough for a house which will lead to the best mod of all, a GARAGE, a glorious fricken garage. I can't wait.
