Oooh go easy on that one, you might offend the manual guys who stand by you aren't a man if you drive an auto lol. I prefer an automatic because "they've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it's faster every time."
Bonus points if you know the movie quote lol. I changed one word but still.

Got tired of the clunking noise from the back. In fact, at one point on the way to work this morning I got it at just the right amount of throttle to make it start vibrating which I quickly let my foot off to stop. No bolts look like they have loosened at all. I haven't gotten to double check the torques, but I'm fairly certain they are fine. I think the spherical bearings in the LCAs I got are bad. That's what I get for buying parts in the parts for sale section. Ordered a new set of BMR LCAs with poly bushings this time. I don't mind the NVH of sphericals at all, but my car is more of a DD and it's just not really necessary. I was only using them because I found a "good" deal on them. Hopefully the UCA I got with them is usable at least so it wasn't a complete waste of money.

Dont know if i would actually say. "Faster" But for the most part they are more consistant. Look at Prostockers and even some top gas and promods. They running Manual trans. But for the everyday racer Autos are the way to go for most part. I bracket raced a 4 speed for alot of years and won alot of races. I now run an Auto in the GTO in its latest configuration. SO would just like to say would like to see the studies actually showing and auto trans is (faster). Run whatever you prefer. Either way if your making to a track Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noticed my car "stumbling". Few times over the past week. Only seems to happen when I'm really on the throttle. A few times it has bucked a little. Not every time, just occasionally.
Wondering if I'm going to need a boost a pump since I did the pulley swap and new tune.

Shift **** looks great
I am still on the stock fuel system, pump anyway. Thinking maybe a boost a pump from KB. But I'm going to start doing some research now, the GT 500 pump is like $700 so I might try to find something cheaper.

Yep, love the shift **** JJ.
What kind of foam gun do you have?
I dropped Deb off to hang with the kids and baby for a few days. Coming back up 40 to High Point I thought I was on a dirt road a couple times. The pollen in Raleigh is incredible, there were clouds of it.
