::ComingSoon, parts on order::
Corvette Servo & Transgo HD2 shift kit
Ram-air using pieces from Spectre, going all the way down to the ducts in the front bumper cover .
The Air filters are two small K&N type cone filters that fit inside the tubes, sure they look small. But each one will flow 575cfm, combined that's way more than the carb will flow
To help spin those heavy 22"s, a set of Motive Performance 4:10 ratio ring & pinion gears have been swaped & covered with a polished aluminum TransDapt diff cover. To help slow down those 22"s the brake rotors are cross drilled & slotted.
Powertrax No-Slip locker, Motive 4:10-1 rear gears
9/09/09: No more side exit thru-body exhaust.
The way needed to run the pipes was costing too much power.
10.20.2009
I broke a Proform 1.6 ratio rocker arm, so instead I decided to give a Comp 1417 roller tip 1.52 ratio a try.
At the same time, I tore the engine down and installed a double roller timing set, new MSD dist gear, and advanced the cam +4 crank degrees, I installed my Dual Plane Air-Gap manifold. All in hopes of improving the loew end grunt & cruising power
