You need to throw a 4000+ converter in there to drop your E.T. by at least a half second.

I need to shed some weight off of that pig too. Damn thing weighs 3480 w/o me!

Not sure if i'm going to spray it yet, thats part of the reason I haven't got either yet. If i'm going all motor, I will have 4.10's and at least a 4400. Nitrous, 36-3800 with 3.73's.

No I have the stock rack with the lines looped. No power steering, and I have a drag water pump so I only have one small belt running from the crank to the alternator.

The only problem I see with shedding weight is getting rid of the "daily driver" version of my car.

And you have a power rack thats looped? I remeber when my pump wouldent work below 1200rpm, and THAT was a pita.

I daily drive mine when it isn't snowing. And yes, the power rack looped. It isn't that hard to steer. But then again, my arms aren't noodles like yours

Yep. Yank SS4000 works great with a shot smaller than 200. And then the Yank PT4400 is the best motor converter.

I sleep in a cardboard box. If I can't get out of that, I might as well check myself in to a mentally handicapped house.

My PS is looped too. Its easy to steer especially when you have skinnies on the front with 40psi in them. Your contact patch is this skinnie --> ----------------------- lol
