Default Almost ready

So yesterday Les Schwab called & said my new fatties were in. (let's hope they will fit) And today Danny called to say the rear end was ready. All I need now is the new fuel pump & I can maybe give Ellis (and a host of others) a run for 2nd place.

Are you looking for a Racetronix fuel pump kit? I have one that I am not using, brand new never installed. It's just been sitting in my garage for a year...

Gimme a holler if you need it.

You have mail Zeke. THANKS!!!

One thing is for sure, I can see now why the big dog at Hoosier GUARANTEED that these would hook a lot better than the Nittos do. They are freaking huge!!! And softer too. I can also see why they say not approved for highway use, even tho they are DOT approved. I would NOT want to be caught in a rain storm on the interstate with these on the car.

The down side of all this is I think I can pretty much start planning on the mini-tubs for next winter. I doubt very seriously I will like the look with 1-2" of tire sticking out of the fender well. The upside, mini-tubs & a narrowed rear end will allow me enter the Pro Street Class @ the Seattle Roadster Show. Anyone got any money I can borrow?

Well, apparently after a little research we're finding that my kit is '98-specific, so it won't work in Mark's car and it won't work in a LT1 either.

I bought it because my fuel pump was making noise and decided I was going to wait for my fuel pump to completely fail before dropping the tank... and then it never failed. I'm still going on the same fuel pump over a year later.
