The next trip to the track is on May 10th at Fontana.

The only stickers on my car have CARB E.O. number on them.

Stronger... No but have you ever broke a stock one.

The stock K-member is 48+ lbs and the P.A. Racing unit I have is 18+ lbs so about 30 lbs lighter all off the front end and lots more room.

I like it!

Is there any welding involved? Is it a bolt on that can be done at home?

I really like the room. I'm thinking this would be good for the 88. How much are they?

The web site for P.A. Racing is www.paracing.net

It was a bolt in one day job with the motor still in the car. The hardest part was reistalling the right front brake line and getting the bolts from the hardware store.

I got my K-member on a G.P. at CamaroZ28.com it was $100 off.
