well... the time has come.....

for a UPR K member, A arms, coil over kit!!!! i started out this weekend doing a simple solid motor mount install on my car, well the passenger side was a pain in the neck, and the driver side just wont come out, i guess with the longtubes, the motor will not give me enough room to get the mount out, so its now pinched between the engine, k member, and headers, so the k member is coming out, and going to be replaced with a UPR K kit!!!

here's how she will be sitting for a few weeks.....

[98COBRA281]

you got the 4.56's in yet?

those are going to have to wait now, i was planning on getting it tune so i can rev it to its full potential, and see what gear i really need, i may even go with 4.88's....

a local guy i know has a 7800rpm, TFS headed, 302 stroker, he is going with 5:13's

Just for record..... UPR sucks really bad. Hope you dont break suspension parts...

 

[Winters98GT]

Damn, you really are going all out! Sweet mods!

His car is a drag car. Many of the fastest 2v guys, including Bill, used the UPR parts. Breaking parts is just part of high RPM launches.

honeslty, i love UPR parts, and they are only about a 45min drive from me, some of there employes are out at the track on friday nights, ive seen ton of cars running UPR parts drag the rear bumper and slam the front down, and everything was fine.

thanks man i do drive it on the street, but only about 4k miles a year!

Nice I'm actually going to be using the same front suspension when I go to put long tubes on my car so I can do it all at once. Let us know hoe everything works out. And did you say 4.88s....

I'll admit, i havent been here as long as some of these guys, (here since 2007), but i have seen your car transfor into a work of art along with some other guys. Everything about it is beautiful. Good luck with the mods/install. Keep us posted.

 

[mazen189]

LOL, just noticed ive been here longer than you. once again, LOVE your car!!!

 

[1fun281]

A long way since high school... Now it seems like were restarting with a mostly stock PI instead of NPI haha

Show one thread where a UPR k member broke.

Was that all motor? What is the compression?

 

[Blackone51]

Hey 98cobra281 I have been having problems with my BBK fuel rails, what rails are those? What regulator you running in your set-up? I think I'm just going to get my money back from BBK just wondering how your fuel rails are treating you? Good luck with your beast!! NPI all the way!!

 

[EPIK]

Man, when I first saw the thread title I thought, man don't tell me this is another "I need to sell my car" post LOL...


Anyhow, nice upgrade. For some reason I thought you already had a tubular k member? Anyhow, its gonna be quite a difference with the new mods & 50+ pounds off the front end...

 

[n8rsk8r]

you have one CLEAN motor man! Any pics of the progress??

 

[Winters98GT]

I agree.

Hopefully this will help you get some needed time off that 60ft with a little weight transfer(not that your 60ft is bad, but I have an idea what you are going for). What 60ft have you calculated you need?

How about backing up your statements for once instead of just making incredibly biased un-educated remarks such as this one? Sure some people have broken their upr suspension parts just like im sure some people have broken their Maximum motorsports suspension parts. One person has a hard time and all of a sudden ALL UPR stuff sucks....I run the UPR coilovers with QA1 k-member and control arms and love it...wouldn't go any other way...

Do some research and you'll see there is nothing wrong with UPR parts. Tons of people run them and love them.

i think it is 11:1

Thnaks man, they are the edelbrock rails to fit the manifold, the regulator is MMR, i have have NO problems with anything!

I

What 60ft have you calculated you need?

hoping for 1.50's, with a set of welds, more gear, a little weight reduction, and alot of rpms's. the car does consistant 1.70's now
