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.

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

That R intake is hurting you compared to a stock Cobra or GT40 intake.

I think that TFS R intake would be a little overkill on that combo you listed too...

just a regular performer is what you would want

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18
I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24
My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26
First pubic hair@Age30
Troll@Age31
My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?
