I would really like to hear suggestions on the rear suspension as I really need to get it right. I too have seen guys in the seven with second gens running cal track set ups, ladder bars and 4 link. My preference is towards a caltrac because I really do not want to cut it up. But, to stay above ground and out of the ER I gladly will.

Timing wise she is locked at 28 taking out a degree per poumd of boost. Nice and safe running C-16 until it is dialed in properly and then I will install the methanol injection.

The rear is a Dana 60 with 3.53 ratio. Th etires are 315's and so far seem to be gripping real well. But then again I wasnt launching that hard with any real boost.


Paul, when you are ready to go turbo, I will bring the mig and some steel and we will get a set of headers going!

You know what the great thing is...with the turbo you can enjoy the car every day. Change the boost you are running and go faster or slower that day at the track. Now the car is a challenge to yourself to race, and more fun I think.
Thanks Robert for the kind words . Do us favour put a chute a that BIOCH lol...
