Hey all, I'm pretty new around these parts but is it normal for jimmies to get this rustled as the first page is about how the vette is running poor and now about how fox bodies are or are not good drag platforms. I'm guessing maximum over rustle. AmmiiiRight?



Heater doin work sonnnnnnn!

After you wrap the down pipe, get an upper radiator hose for a 94/95 gt. It will fit that setup much better.

What kind of power were you making with that near-stock setup you were speaking of, earlier?

Yeah i dont plan to let the hose like that, i just had some extra garbage wrap left so i wrapped the stock hose just for initial start up and then ill find/buy another one.

Also ditch the worm clamp on the charge pipe and put a tbolt there. Might want to bead roll the pipe if you don't already have it done. Trust me, it sucks when you pop it and lose a race.

oh the irony.

so... you were proven wrong (your car is slower) and are now resulting to talking **** about his character and bought vs. built... just give it up dude. your car performs great for what it is, but there will always be someone faster. get the **** over it!

edit: Hio, serious question, how much money do you have in your car? I dont think Ive ever seen a full mod list, and every thread someone seems to mentions another mod (racing seats, bogarts). Just curious what kind of $ it took to get where you are.

Lol, trust me i know. Its not done. I ordered a bunch of t bolt clamps but ran out and had that laying around for mock up so i used it. Almost all the pipes are already bead rolled except for a few i had to cut, im going to see how it goes and if they pop off then i will just tear them off and do it.

Only takes 6 bolts and the front bumper is off and the piping is all right there.

As i said, its not done. Everything is wrapped except the down pipe because its only sitting on there, havent decided how i want to route my exhaust, but most likely will just run it out the fender. Then when its complete it will be wrapped. And a blanket will be bought.
