So why is your car going to be more competitive, do tell. I wont be there on the 30th
I believe someone has some new suspension he's looking to try out.

I feel like I have no room to work and the External Dump Tube makes it even worse.
I should look into doing something like this, I haven't changed any of my motor mounts out yet. They must be getting tired with 63K on the clock.

Good for Ben. Holding it down for the RS's

Pete I was suprised at how sloppy mine was with 50K.

The blox install is very easy. I did it while i had my undertray off to save time but once that is out of the way its very quick like people say. All you have to do is take off that subframe, swap mounts, and reinstall.
I noticed a lot after the install and am very happy that i bought it especially for the price i got it for.

Sure you weren't... you always have an excuse.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure mine are wasted. My car needs a bunch of crap aside from the obvious of getting back on the road. Brakes, motor mounts, turbo upgrade... I could go on a for a while.

Go with the Quaife, i know its hard to spend the money but easier to spend that 1500 now then to do 750 now and 1500 possibly down the road. If you don't have the money readily available i'd even let the car sit and eat the time just to have peace of mine later that you did the rite thing.

That's where I'm stuck though. It's at JNZ on a lift and I don't want to ask them to keep it there till I have the money. They already have projects cars sitting all over the shop that look like they've been there for months and months. When they call back I'll have to have a little talk with them and see how much they'll work with me.

Jim just think how many launches that stock one lasted. I would go the cheap route. **** you could buy a back up and learn how to install it and you still would be at 1500.

There is a difference, Blood on the head=10hp atleast
blood on the undertray= not so much

Here's something I found that some of you may have stumbled over already. I have the GM BCS already but I'm not running it. Still on the MBC because I don't think I patched my ROM correctly so I put it on the back burner for now. This BCS seems to be the best option out there so far.

Look at Petey......doesn't he have 300+ passes on his stock transfercase? I know it was from me dumping the clutch. Mine lasted about 50+launches.

I dont know how much stonger the Quaife is, but couldn't the same thing happen.

The pressure is on in the semi finals the guy next to you stages to fast and boom your out 1500.

I would go with the stocker and save some money, but im a cheap bastard

What pisses me off even more is that the guy only ran an 11.8 on that pass. I had that little SOB!!! Oh well. Dom said it best, "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile....winning is winning". I think he won by a quarter mile so who am I to complain.....

I should be winning redline time attacks then. I cut my hand so bad on my undertray before I got tuned. I still have a nice scar.
