    All I can say is wow..

    Forget engineering. There is a future in selling smokeless ashtrays. I hear you can make millions. I know college hire EE's ~50K. Some make 80K in about 5 years, some make 129K in 5 years. Depends on how good you are. Work hard, find the right company, get as much experience as you can...

    All I can say is wow..

    Forget the turbonator, I've got dual air freshners and a recently replaced muffler bearing. I think these mods added at least .001 HP. I should be able to run 9's with my stock motor and gears now. Right? :D Still running stock 56mm unit. Jealous of the 65 and over croud and I am...

    Had smog done last week in CA, surprisingly below maximum emissions...

    Man, that's awesome. I am getting ready to go through NJ emissions and they are right up there with CA in terms of strictness. Hoping I will have similar luck. My smog pump is hooked up to my cats. Not sure that this would have helped you. My understanding is that the pump forces air into...

    My flows 2 chambers are too loud for me..alternatives?

    Right now I have 3 chamber flows with a BBK X-Pipe + cats and it's only loud when you're WOT. During daily drives to the store it isn't really that loud at all. I had 2 chamber flows on my 86 gt with hollowed cats and that was very loud indeed. I think the combination of running hi-flo...

    BBK LT install questions - PEASE HELP

    I actually cut my stock emissions feedback pipe near my passenger side collector and mounted the pipe to the floor using a self tap screw and a metal loop. Then I ran about a 2' length of heater hose, instead of 2" of line up next to the T-5 and into the X's nipple pipe. I guess this is the...

    Failed emissons in N.J.......help........

    The computer seems to be the most obvious culprit, but I wouldn't draw a final conclusion on that just yet. I will ask some of my buddies about your NOX problem to see if I can dig anything up. Assume that you are running an automatic stil. If someone else in the forum knows the immediate...

    New Credit Card

    Don't do it!!! Been there before. Totally agree with Slo65. When I got my first credit card (Citibank) I bought a bunch of parts for my 460 project that I was working on for my 82 coupe. Of course I couldn't really afford it. To make a long story short, I no longer have that engine...

    need some advice..

    Isn't Bassani based out of CA? Based on your location I guess its sort of believable. I would definately consider getting a refund from this joker though if your ***t doesn't show up by say.... tomorrow or the next day at the latest. I usually try to stick to reputable dealers and...

    need to improve times

    Opps, my bad. Your right about that, but it's a good idea to be consistent on your launch. Getting a good R/T is not a bad thing, but overall it probably will not help your E/T. Your 60' is probably going to have one of the biggest impacts. That is where I am still struggling because of my...

    c-clip elimators + disk brakes. Why not?

    I was checking out the 94-95 Strange axles with the c-clip in particular. If I get them I will have to upgrade to a 31-spline differential, which is probably a good idea anyway. This is obviously going to be the easiest to install, because it will work with ABS exciters, disk brakes, etc...

    c-clip elimators + disk brakes. Why not?

    c-clip eliminators + disk brakes. Why not? I was thinking about hardening my 8.8 rear with some new axles, differential and gears. Got the gears. Shopping for axles and a stronger differential. My friend suggested going with c-clip eliminators for safety if possible. I am a long way...

    Here's the pics from my intake swap....

    Looks good. I've been considering the Trick Flow to replace my factory (choker) intake. One suggestion. You could remove the plastic shroud above the radiator, but I'd suggest that you have a nice aluminum race radiator in it's place first. That opens up the front of the car a little bit...

    Cleaning the Underbody

    Good Idea. I was looking for a useful, low buck winter project.

    My Geico Savings - Seriously!!!

    Yeah, I decided to neglect mentioning the post-factory upgrades.

    need to improve times

    Agree. You should probably be beating my times, because I am still running the factory (choker) intake. Are you waiting for the green light to launch? One thing that you can do to shave down your 60' time by a couple of 10th's is to launch on the third yellow. The clock actually starts...

    fluidine radiator problems, anyone else?

    I've had one for a few months. Your starting to scare me a little bit. If it breaks in two or three years, you can bet I will hunt down this thread to add my .02. Keeping my fingers crossed and having fun with it for now.

    My Geico Savings - Seriously!!!

    super302. I'm paying for three cars and married with children so that could be why you and I are seeing such a big difference. When I first got my 95 the insurance was more than the car payment (almost!). Now I keep minimum liability on it and I have an Explorer as my daily driver. I...

    Oh Crap! That thread ended.

    I loved that little thread like it was one of my own. Oh well..... There's always room for Jello!

    My Geico Savings - Seriously!!!

    That sucks!!! Well I'm no spokesman, but they saved me big money. Enough for an Intake, TB, gaskets, clutch, pressure plate and fly wheel. That's enough of a modivator to make me switch. A buddy of mine had mentioned that I should change every once in a while. He has been able to get a...

    MAF Cable Questions - Short and Sweet

    I can probably take one and post it sometime this weekend. It really doesn't look terrible. Just curious if anybody offers a cable solution. I figured that the new MAF's didn't come with a cable. You've re-enforced my gut feeling.
