Re: A LITTLE TIRE ROAST
I like the exhaust tone. What are you using for your exhaust to support the full 500HP?
My GTA has a 406 in it that will be making about 450 fwhp and I am trying to nail down what I can do without having to use duals.

Re: A LITTLE TIRE ROAST
Well, it is all hooker front to back, They are Super Comp shorty headers, hooker y-pipe to to hooker "aerodyne turbo muffler" out the back. In the video howerever it was the headers with a cherry bomb on each side. Like I say it was still inprogress when i made that little vid. You should hear it now though, it is flippin sweet!

Re: A LITTLE TIRE ROAST
You should make a sound clip of the current setup.
So you are now running a single larger catback system? What size?
Thanks!

Re: A LITTLE TIRE ROAST
if you knew how to setup a drag suspension you could have that car on the rockers going down strip. look at a lot of cars here.....not high riding like a 50's/60's gasser...
lower control arm relocation brackets/adjustable tq arm/drag shock-struts/right tire selection/air bag in the right rear...i know im forgeting some little things but thats what friends of mine use as starting point and they are only into 11's with a sbc.....this year they went 4 link and back halfed

im just saying.....not being a jerk.....just my honest opioin based on what ive seen work

Re: A LITTLE TIRE ROAST
Yeah dude I know, and I've got it. I just like it. It's a street rod man, If I wanted to go pull 8's in it it would be a little differant. I know my look is not for everybody, but I like it, and so do alot of other people. Everywhere I go I get huge compliments, so stop being a hater man.
just throwing my .02 out there so maybe you can have a "better" 60ft time.....

but whatever...if you think im hatin....lol...thats all
