Default M112 progress update.

Ok so mysteed has got my funds. the adapter plate is getting made. So now i am waiting on the m112 to come to my door. I will post pics of my progress here. any tips would be appreciated. Looks like i have to get a mail order tune from VMP because the local dynoshop here i believe is closed. Pro performance in Montgomery, Alabama. then i might go to Mobil to get a dyno done.

Ok so i have to wait 2-3 weeks for the adapter plate to be made =-( the suspense is going to kill me. But i am thinking on getting an 8.8 because i would like to launch at the drag strip at least once to see my 1/4 time. i probably hit a 15.0 lol and probably a 13.5 with the m112 or better

Don't expect to hit a 15 your first time out. Just saying. And with a some suspension work 13.5 or better is very possible. In the mean time while your waiting, an 8.8 swap and some MM lca's wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

The swap is going to wait till i find another job because i have 4-6 months to find a job before i get laid off. When i do i going to get 3.55 or maybe 3.77 to go into the 8.8

You mean 3.73? And yeah I would throw a little more gear at it, personally with a 5 speed and the M112 I might go 3.55
