Talking Well I guess the 4 cyl t-5 wasnt meant for stickies

Didnt even get to use the nitrous either to boot! I was running into launching problems with the sticky tires, the fuel would slosh out of the front float and stall the car So I would launch, then stall, then go again then down again haha. BUT since that pissed me off Iwould slam the second, third and 4th. I drove it finally back on the road again and it grinds into 2nd 3rd and 4th oddly enough! Well I guess it is time to go with a trusty c4 and see what happens!

BTW does anyone know how to fix the fuel slosh issue? I thought about putting hoses on the breathers and zip tying them to the air cleaner stud for the fuel couldn't get out but Im open to suggestions!

if your 4 eye was a notch I would consider it but it aint so im not haha. It is cheaper and more consistent to throw a c4 in then the tko and I plan on going up to windsor once the block gets to the machine shop. That and my 8.8 clutches are shiz so gotta replace them while im at it.

Autos win races And I have my wagon if i feel like slinging gears. I mean for daily driving I would much prefer a stick car but this is my track/weekend car so Auto it is!

if you're having fuel slosh issues with a stock EFI tank, the baffle has more than likely broken off.
replacing the tank is your only option there, but since you seem to be building this car for weekend/strip runs, maybe a fuel cell is more what you need.

No the problem is the fuel sloshed out of the front bowl of the carb and lost my power and since it is a vac secondary carb to boot so Im getting a mechanical secondary demon carb and see how that goes
