Someone around here knew a place that rebuilt powerdynes for a fair price, and it was supposed to be better than when they do it at powerdyne. I'll see if I can find out who it was.

For suspension, a good place to start is with upper and lower rear control arms. For complete kits, Maximum Motorsports makes some kickass setups that make these things handle like supercars

With a vortech, you tap the oil pan and use the engine's oil supply. With a procharger (which is what I have), the unit is self contained. It has its own supply of oil (about 6oz.)

Nope, no slicks yet. I'll probably do that in a week or two. Got backed up with the car because I've bn working a ****load of overtime lately. And it's been wearing me out. Just yesterday I spent over 4 hours hidden in a line of bushes in 90 degree weather and wearing heavy gear, staring at a window through a scope while geting eaten alive by every bug imaginable. That was followed by 5 hours of sitting outside a room in the sun and 3 more hours running around a room, LoL. By the time i get home I'm exhausted. Been having long days like that for a few weeks now.

You should be able to pull 12s. And when you get the nitrous and H/C/I I'll be shocked if you're not well into the low 11s. With my 10 PSI of boost and with a small 100-shot of nitrous i hit mid 11s all day. There are obviously some other supporting mods too, but the heads and intake are stock.

12s? really? yea that might be possible cuz when i race the T/A it had a 2 length head start and i pulled on it hard. i cant wait to get the H/C/I!! i'll let u know when i get the s/c fixed and put on. i have a video on my myspace of an inside view of my car at the track last friday.

this was b4 we figured out that the s/c was trashed. we didnt get one after the car ran faster. it dropped 2 secs off my time when we bypassed the s/c
