    Need paint and bodywork done, anyone?

    Bringing this baby back up to the top... Does anyone have suggestions for a good local paint shop? I'm looking to get a bumper cover painted.

    Fall and Winter projects who's doing what?

    Car has been down for over a year chasing an issue with warped heads... finally got the car up and running about a month ago. Installed cats and got it licensed last month just in time for the rain to come and now she is already torn down for the winter. Plans include beefing up the fuel...

    Good Local Shop For Head Work

    I have been having some problems with pressurizing my cooling system under boost and I have it down to either the heads or a warped block. Assuming it's not the block (please, please, please don't be a warped block...), I will need to get the heads into a shop to get checked for cracks and...

    Boooooost!

    Two guys with BTMs on their shelves huh? I just swapped my pulleys on my SC-Trim out this summer and have been trying to decide which direction I want go go with my ignition retarding. Was thinking about getting a PMS or something but a BTM might make a nice short-term solution. I am having a...

    So close...

    Stangler - How are you launching on these tires? You must have cut some serious 60' times to get into the 12s at 101mph :eek: Also, I do have adjustable struts (Koni reds) that I loosen up at the track to try and get a little more weight transfer.

    They came out with the 27" 255/15s the week after I got the 235s. Those would have been perfect. Oh well, I have these ones now so I guess I will stick with them... I haven't tried disconnecting the sway bar yet. Does that make a big difference? My plan has been to see how fast I can get the...

    16 psi is as low as I've gone so far. I have heard that you shouldn't go too far below 16 with as much weight as I'm pushing on 235s.

    So close...

    I cant believe it... I'm trying to crack the 12s with the combo in my sig (stock motor, 5-6psi, FMU, 10* base timing spout in) before I start trying to maximize my combo and start adding the parts I've been accumulating. Last night at the Pacific Raceways TNT out of 4 runs I had three 13.0X...

    Whats the best recommended MAF for the stock #19's.

    PMAS (PRO-M) needs you to tell them it will be running with a cone filter on the end and they will calibrate it to work with that setup (this is what I was told). I have a cone filter right on the end of it with my Powerpipe and it drives great. I tried all of the tricks I had ever heard of...

    Whats the best recommended MAF for the stock #19's.

    I had a 76mm C&L and now I have an 80mm PMAS... the C&L worked fine when I was NA but I could not get it to work once I got the blower. I have a wideband and I can tell you, the C&L did not respond well to having a cone filter mounted anywhere near it. Car runs better with the PMAS than it did...
