Re: HeHe





Almost there.

Did drive it.
E-brake doesn't work...but I know why.
Sway bar needs clamped up, but I didn't have the large clamps, I will pick them up tomorrow on my way home from work.
LCA relocation brackets need welded in. Sometime this week I hope.

Driving it was weird. You could feel the LCA's were REALLY mushy. Rear suspension was horrible.
Just a little whine from the rear, expected with the larger stronger gears and the TrueTrac diff.
Since the speedo isn't adjusted yet, it is kinda fun to watch it climb VERY quickly.

Spinning the tires is easy. I want to see some serious 60' times.

Re: HeHe

If I can cut a 1.7 I will be more than happy.


LCA brackets are getting welded into place tomorrow afternoon, and I hope while I am there we can adjust my pinion angle properly as well.

Re: HeHe

You'll get a 1.7 sec. or better 60'. I can guarantee it. I think you shift rather well, it was just your take off that was suffering.

Good luck, I can't wait to see your new times.

Re: HeHe

It was going to be tomorrow night, but something came up today and I wasn't able to get the brackets welded.

Probably gonna be a couple weeks. I want to double check my tune because I added .025" to each pushrod. Just longer ones of course. But it seems to be having a problem finding idle so I bet my A/F is off throughout the powerband.
Hoping to dyno tune again this weekend. But I won't know until Thursday afternoon if that is happening or not.
I will keep everyone up to date.
