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!! Greg |
