It's kinda like playing Tetris. It sure helps that I don't have a fuel cell or batteries in the trunk! If you need to change wheels for track and street, it almost requires a trailer although I have...

Thanks! I feel my shortblock lasted beyond it's expectations. I'm just aggravated I didn't upgrade to a forged crank when I should have. Of course, you read all the comments how tough the factory N...

I believe "better" would be front and mid plates. It takes all the twisting force away from the block. I've been running solid motor mount and a rubber trans mount for years. I feel like I've...

Yes, I forgot to add that. Factory N crank that I have raced since 2013 and it was in a race build before that. I now know it should have been cycled out for a forged crank....

Thanks! The converter is a custom 10" PTC. Flashes to 5000 but still works well on the street. 3.73 gears and 275/60R15 puts me right at 6500 throughthe traps.

The set-up I'm running is very easy on parts. I'm running the Comp Endure-X lifters on their XE Street Roller lobes 266/272 and about .650 net lift with HS 1.65's. I run the K-motion K-800 springs...

I've had a set on my Firebird since 2014. I like them a lot especially for the price. I cut a couple holes in them to add grommets and breathers. They seal really nice with a set of TIP 5/16"...

I'll bet that launch with the 8" converter did feel a little different! That 60' change should have made more difference in your ET but that converter is too loose killing your down track...

I have a set. They work great for me. As good as the old ET Street Radial and the ET Street Radial Pro but I'm not making that much power either. Another option would be the ET Street R. It's...

You would see a night a day difference with the cam swap especially with the right converter. I'm pretty sure a "Jim Hand" converter would not be near enough. Like Jay S said, you would need a...

If you're not wanting to run less than 11.50, you could probably do that without changing anything major. Especially if you like the conservative gear and converter that you have now for the street....
