Will do man. I'll hit up DeerhunterZ28 or whatever his name was and find it

My car picked up 23mph with issues...not sure if 25mph is saying much.

But I paid 13,600.00 plus TT&L for my car that was stock, in great condition and only had 32,000 miles on it.. So do the math. I guess it comes out to about what and what.. If I remeber I paid $17,000 something after TT&L for my car plus about $22,000 I have into it to make it run 10.99 on the motor. The Cobra would have cost me about $25,000 used in the same condition. So for the same amount of money I could have put $14,000 into the Cobra which would have made it a beast..
Trust me I would love to have a KB but its just not in my budget right now. as for a live axle that will be one the last things I do If I ever do it....I am not big on going to the track and the IRS hooks better on the street.

Every couple weeks I still jump on Ebay and SVT to see where Termi prices are at. I am still considering another one. I love those cars and now with the Mammoth inlet 2.8 KB out, 135 traps should be typical. They are damn fun from a 45 roll too.

When I sold mine, he went 133 so that would put the 1/8 around 100-101 and it still had 3:55's and stock manifolds. Damn amazing cars IMHO.

Oh I agree completely but I went with the Whipple because it isn't as loud and 3.4 > 2.8

I have no idea I haven't really researched the Mammoth kit much. I was sitting right at 700rwhp with the stock pulley in my 3.4 whipple which was more than enough for anything I ran across on the street

I'm going to spray mine.

I think instead of a TS I'm just going to put mine on a 100 shot and let it ride. I already got most of the stuff I need anyways. All I would need to get is switches and a BAP.

I bet they do. Keeps the IAT's down. All I know is the car runs damn good now with a 100 shot its going to be a monster. There's a guy around here that's working on a turbo build with his Sierra he's got me a little worried. I ain't much on that losing business. Pisses me off.

If 25mph isn't saying much then lets race your 12 second car against my 10 second car!!!!!!!! I ran mid 12's with just boltons and a stall converter.. You have a cam and still in the 12's? Lucy, you got some explaining to do!!!! Please, get out of here and let the big boys have a conversation!!

Thats funny because I was just telling the old lady today we didn't need 2 trucks. I wanted to sell one of the Avalanchs and buy a 2003-2004 cobra. A little something else to play with!! I have a 2007 Chevy Avalanch FOR SALE LT3 package, LOADED with 33,000 miles.. Any takers?

4.10's are a lot of gear with a 26" tire...not enough rpm.

^ Yeah I know, I'm going to run some M&H DR's (275/50) after I get done with my current ones. They're the only ones I know of that make a 28" DR in 17's. I think that 4.10 gear is hurting more than its helping right now but that's what was in the car when I bought it so I guess that's what I got to work with. I can make it work.
