stock heads/cam/intake/TB

oh forgot to mention I had a C&L 76mm MAF too.

The suspension was:

Bullitt springs/shocks/struts
J&M control arms lower
Steeda Upper

that's all she wrote (keep in mind I was launching off the limiter and powershifting every gear)

The biggest thing you learn is how important that first 60 feet is.

Gears will help a lot.

Im on a 28in slick now, which i wanna trade or sell ASAP, I wanna go with a 26in slick (car is lowered). What gear in your opinion would be most streetable and would help out the most on the minimal track usage?? In my eyes I wanna go w/ 3.73s, but you tell me. thanks --rick

4.10's and a good driver should make it happen.

That R intake is hurting you compared to a stock Cobra or GT40 intake.
 
Posted by rickm347 (Member # 5323) on :
 
thats what i keep hearing from local guys. . . .what combo would this intake do best or better on??
 
Posted by hidnn.o.s. (Member # 1219) on :
 
Forced induction with big heads or big cubic inch motors with some compression.
 
Posted by rickm347 (Member # 5323) on :
 
so it would definitely do better on the windsor im building??
 
Posted by twisted54 (Member # 1981) on :
 
I think that TFS R intake would be a little overkill on that combo you listed too...
 
Posted by rickm347 (Member # 5323) on :
 
I traded it for some other stuff i had laying around and at the time I had just picked up the car, which btw was only a short block. so u guys think i should ditch the "R" intake??

ya pick up a track heat or a good edelbrock bro wit some roller rockers and gears and tach that shit out

just a regular performer is what you would want

im not a fan of that one, so i think im just gonna run this intake til I get my windsor built. ill buy the lower for windsor and use the R upper.
