can't wait to see your new FF manifold {thumbup}

I don't think I've seen a 9 to an 8 cylinder head swap before, I'm subscribed.

A few guys on here have done that swap before. It is actually pretty easy. My 9 head and cams go buy buy...and a 8 head and cams go in. You block the oil feel line hole on the back of the 9 block. And disable the MIVEC in the AEM EMS. Swap the 9 valve cover out for a 8 valve cover as well. And done :)

Me too man. I'm pumped to get the 3794 as well :D

Get those 8's Chris! Best of luck!

How much for the mivec gear?

Nice to see your build thread Chris, 160 is moving! I didn't know the 3794 came with a Tial housing. Very cool!

I hope so man. I'd be happy with anything in the 8's. Reviewing my 9.3 pass from last season shows the car had an 8 in it as it sat. The motor bogged down to 4100 rpm on the launch that pass. I solid low 1.4 sixty might have got me the 8 second pass I wanted.

I'm leaning toward the Fatfab catch can right now. It looks nice and is a good price. I'll get it powder coated crinkle black to match other items on the car.

Yes I am sticking with the OEM trans as of right now. I'd love a dogbox but can't afford it with everything else going on. Anyone want to sponsor me a dogbox haha?? Talking with David the auto trans should be killer if it all comes together like he thinks. I still don't know if an auto is for me. I love banging gears {thumbup}

HAHA thank you. They are 15 x 7" Rota's with 235/55/15 BF Goodrich T/A drag radials. My 2012 build thread should have all the details on them. I think I got the wheel/tire combo brand new for like $1100.

Are you running off the shelf APEXi N1 suspension? Any additional modifications done to it such as swapping the springs?

Good luck on your new build! {thumbup}

Thank you!

Yes they are off the shelf Apexi N1's. I haven't touched them but think I may try a set of Swift springs this year if the budget permits.

Hit up David, he can help you out...plus you'll shave a few pounds {thumbup}

can you share what spring rate you would go with?

get the correct length and size your talking 1.3lbs front 1.6lbs rear. not bad for springs.

Awesome g luck on that 8sec pass this year. If all goes well the FFTEC crew myself and a couple others will be making the trip out to the shootout this year looking forward to seeing this beast in person :)

Is that weight total front and rear? Or each corner?

I have no idea what rates to go with yet.

I forget. I can't remember everything . It all weighs to much geez. I believe the front was a total of 1.6 and the rear a total of 1.3. I'll dig up my paper.

Apexi front 2.6lbs
apexi rear 2.9lbs
swift front 1.6lbs
swift rear 2.2lbs
Boy did I lie. Oops. Sorry. Must of been thinking of something else
