If you want a deep throaty muscle car sound then IMHO the best set-up is the MAC Prochamber with a chambered muffler. If rust is not too much of a problem in your area, then I would go with the MAC cat-back. This is the setup I have and it turns heads. I have had no problems with rust as the...

MAF's are a decent MOD if you are staying NA. I went with a C & L with Tru-flow pipe and I noticed decent SOP gains (gains I could feel). I have heard some say that should only go with a MAF if you are not going to get a tune because C & L's are hard to tune. I don't buy it. Any good tuner...

I would consider it for $500, but $650 is overpriced.

4.10's are the perfect gear. If you are staying NA, you might want to consider 4.30's. I made the mistake of going with 3.73's because I am considering adding an SC. I can tell you that 3.73's made little difference. 4.10's will put you in your power band. Moreover, many people report a...

One fact that Don Garlits mentioned that I thought interesting... he mentioned that the deceleration G's are what cause the majority of the problems with top fuel driver's. He suffered a detached retina from deceleration G's. My son and I go to Seattle Raceway (Pacific International) for the...

Definitely not a stupid question... only thing I can think of is that fighter pilots survive huge G's for longer periods of time by wearing G suits. The suits inflate and press on the legs which forces blood into the brain and counterracts the blood draining G forces. The human body can...

I always wondered if they have to wear some sort of "G" suit. With the short time they are at those G's, they might able to get away without one. I weigh 230 pounds. At 8 G's that would be 1840 pounds pressing down on me. Whew!!

Now that was a fascinating read. Thanks Scary. I saw an interview with "Big Daddy" Don Garlits on the Speed channel last weekend. (Hard to believe he is 71 now). Garlits said that it costs an average of $3,000,000 in costs (crew costs, travel, average repairs and motor rebulds) to fund a...

I don't disagree with you at all. It is just a matter of personal preference. I like the Roush stripes and I almost went that route, but I guess I felt sentimental toward my first race car... 1969 Chevelle SS. The hood stripes are the stripes that the old muscle cars had.

The Roush style stripes look okay, but I prefer the old style "SS" type stripes: http://www.rdmrdm.com/rides.htm Scroll down to the white GT vert with black stripes. That be mine! -- Dennis edit: Stripes were purchased from Bob White decals. I put the stripes on...
