mid legths, cj intake, CAMS. if the cost of cams seems high use baby CJ... $200.00. 93 octane is all you need with that setup...and 4.10 gears.

Never understood the complaints about the quick honks. Whether they are quick or slow, pay attention and go on the 3rd honk.

I guess some people want a personal invite to the race as well... Lol

I think it was more of a pun towards Automach than complaining about that type of honking. Looks like they left at the same time.

Clearly the G8 was running rough. A tune-up's in order.

What I've found is the faster the SS goes stock, so does the GT. Whether it's true or not
