No kidding. That'd be a solid lifter, huge cam, ultimate heads, light weight rotating group setup, that'd would cost hella cash.

It is. But that's why I have a quick street car that's a manual, and IMA be building a quick auto car more drag oriented.

My clutch has been dragging for the past few months, and I've been babying it as much as possible. Pressing it all the way down doesn't fully disengage.

Pressing it all the way down and throwing it into first from a dead stop, the car surges forward a bit. Reving to 6k, and the car moves forward, while holding the clutch down.

This issue has existed for a while, but has become more prevalent and causing misshifts now. I'm going with a different clutch\flywheel combo, and I'm trying to see what I should go with.

If you have the money, the RST/RXT are the top of my list for street clutches. I know the Monster is a tough clutch, but after driving Guitar's car, I wouldn't recommend one for a dd.

Just how fast is that new viper gts a guy pulled up next to and started laughing i asked if he wanted to run and he laughed louder. Now i know full well i dont have the fastest car but with my set up i highly doubt he would have destroyed me. Dont they run like mid 11s to high 10s anyways depending on driver?

Likely doing arp locking bolts for my truck headers. I know I don't need to, but it is annoying worrying about the stockers.

They are solid mid-high 120 trap cars out of the gate. Maybe even better depending on air and driver.

That being said, they would in fact destroy you, given the driver isn't a retard.

Help.. I can't decide. What am I going to buy when I sell the Firebird?

http://www.jegs.com/i/Weld-Racing/92...ductId=1688827

or a set of stock looking aluminum GN wheels... Both would look awesome.

Yeah, I know it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a performance juggernaut, but dammit man...why does it have to sound like a milk truck!? Lol. Stupid firing order...
