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.

Wow, I remember when I was that heavy. I like being light. Less wear on the drivetrain.

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

I like going at least 4000 stall even with nitrous, the 3500 stall stuff does not 60ft well enuff for my liking.

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.

Cool, I want to drop it down some. I'm also dropping weight myself. Got to do the driver weight reduction mod.
