Do gears $200, 31 spline carrier (can be had for $100 used), trac loc rebuild kit $50, and install kit $100. So for $450 you can launch as hard as you want and never have to worry about an axle being coughed out. As for the torque boxes I would just weld them up. Don't bother with the reinforcement kits if nothing is damaged. Once you reinforce everything with welds its not coming apart. Subframes are also a must, mustangs crack the floor pans very easily from twisting, shorty subframes can be had for $50 shipped.

I think you would benifit more from a intake manifold then you would from a cam especially with stock heads. As if you still have a stock fuel pump I would look into upgrading. My car starts to lean out at 5200 up with the stock one all motor. I'd hate to lean out on nitrous.

dime subframes are a must, cause we all know how stiff the fox chasis is. then after that a cam, gt40 heads and a carb, than u can run whatever camu want.

Sorry man I don't wear bow ties to church but good luck selling the camaro anyways!!!If you plan to leave it speed density choose a sd cam and some heads and intake and with your existing mods and gears 12's are a easy shot!!

might be one of the better responses ive gotten so far... thanks

i have every intention on getting the tq boxes welded up at work in the near future, and like u said subframes are cheap, that is why im "not worried" bout them... not because i dont think their important things to do, but because its like pocket change to do them and welding will be free.

ill look into the intake suggestion... hell at the least... my engine bay will look better, lmao... but no seriously ill look into that one... maybe one that they make a plate kit for...hmmm[8D]

and on a good note i have a 190 fuel pump in the mail... so no worries


so now it looks like... gears, better spray set up... and possibly intake mani...mid/low 12s i guess.... well see anyway


keep the suggestions comin...
