It's been awhile since I posted any updates but I finally got the car back out after 4 months. One thing I never messed with before was the camshafts and I had a feeling it was time to mess with them. I went ahead and bought a degree kit so I...
Been a long 5 months since I posted last. So over winter I addressed a few things going over the car. 1st up was swapping in some Vader aluminum rods, kiggly girdle, arp main studs and put a fresh set of rings in the motor. During tear down I...
My main girdle needs the ARP studs. It will not work with the OE bolts or some other similar bolt unless it has a really small head. The reason is the ARP nuts are about the smallest footprint fastener you will find, and they even require a...
Well had my first event of 2020 at a local track to me. It's the pour your own puddle (PYOP) event at Milan Dragway. No prep event they throw once a month.Took the win in the hard tire class again! Hoping next time there will be a few more cars...

Most well designed performance converters are usually still pretty streetable and have very little, if any effect on mileage.Poorly constructed high stall converters, on the other hand, can sometimes be pretty inefficient- which leads to them...
For anyone wanting to know I finally got this wired up and WOW... I love it will.. shifts instantly and insanly hard... and yes this wiring throws away the stock TCU and makes your trans full manual control all the time.
I have been building autos too for about 8 years. The advancements in available aftermarket parts for them has really increased in the last 5 years with Kevin and Jeff Bush doing most of the parts, making it able to be pushed well into the...
When we acquired an automatic, one glaring difference was the shift lever off the transmission is (almost) as awkwardly tall as the shifter inside the car; and is right where you want to run the intercooler piping. This lower profile shift lever...
