I think that with an attitude like that you ill be unbeatable.

I sent the car off to another body shop this week. This guy is more expensive but he's a real guy and said hed be done by Feb. He said he's gotta get it out of his shop, he has too many people in line. I just ordered the 13" rotor/Viper Caliper brake setup from AREngineering and the tubular UCA's and strut rods from Bill Riley at BigBlockDart. I'm going to get the reenforced LCA's and 1 1/8" Sway Bar from FFI. Already have a 20:1 steering gear. Need to find pre 2003 Viper Calipers and 17x8 mustang "Bullitt" wheels. I'm gonna run 245 45 17's.
This is gonna be fun.

Mike, Let this be a lesson:

Always get the body done first - Even if it takes three years - then at least youre not wainting to get the car back.

I was reading the eariler post on this thread, And It seems that you might want to try running a bit lower Pressures on the tires.

The 3.09 Low gear is Really a bear on the Line - Produces Great 60' Times - but you have to dial the pressure down so low that it hurts you beyond the 330' mark.

I used to run 15 PSI - Now I have a 2.66 Low Gear and I run 17.5..

I am going to try 18 PSI on my next test and tune session.

I very rarely ever Spin the tires any more - Espically when they spay the VHT nice and heavy.



Best of luck - When you move to NC I will have to catch up with you and We have to run a Slant 6 4 Speed match Race!!
