    For the Guys who have removed their Front Sway Bars!

    ive had mine off for a couple years now, no real problems other than the body roll can get annoying/emberrassing. basically the car handles like an older Lincoln Town Car, no joke. the rear end is MUCH tougher to swing out too.

    LS6 injectors on a 5.0?

    if they are like the lt1 injectors then yes they will work, but i think the LS1 injectors are rated at an even higher pressure than the LT1's. The LT1's 24# injectors are rated at a higher pressure than fords, so the chevy 24#'s are really like 22#'s or so @ 40psi. So the difference between...

    driving with open headers OK?

    i drove my car about 15-20 miles with the open long tubes to an exhaust shop, no problem at all. its really obnoxiously loud though. im sure open shorties are even louder. on the street I run open cutouts about 75% of the time right behind the H on the hpipe and still feel thats too loud as...

    got small quadrant gear on but....

    there is no way i was able to redo it on mine, i found putting the spring back on just about impossible, i just ended up buying a different clutch quadrant and adjustable cable.

    Help 1st trip to track! Ran 15's

    either your missing power through out the power range or the weather took a heavy toll. What was the temp, humidity, baro, altitude, and dew point? What were other cars that we can gauge off of running? (LS1's, LT1s, GTs, Cobras?)

    Problems with idle after H/C/I, any suggestions.

    whats your tps voltage at? could be a ton of things. i really REALLY doubt its your throttle body. keep looking for a vaccuum leak.

    Check my times + combo......what do you think???(smoked an eclipse in this race)

    what was weather like? temp, baro, dew point and humidity. Your 60' is pretty bad but im sure its difficult launching on a stiff suspension. Other than that, you also seem to be losing a little topend, with that 1/8th MPH you should be at about 98 MPH in the 1/4. could be your...

    CA smog legal cams?

    2.35 60 foots with slicks.

    you should still be able to 60' better than that, just dont give it full throttle. I know, sounds easier than it is, Have you launched on slicks before? I used to run drag radials, but wasnt completely sure how to launch in em. The best i did with drag radials was like a 2.22 and use to run high...

    A shot in the dark question

    thats exactly what i was gonna say. probably came off when you pulled the head. there is no way that could have fallen in without pulling the head.

    I just left it there "flopping around". no problems at all, though it doesnt "flop" much, barely even moves actually.
