Re: Driveshaft and Rearend

OK, I found a kit from MOSER, and when I talked to the tech person, told me to put different ends on the axle tubes to eliminate the Clip eliminators. Ford Bearing size, Kit comes with Spool and 33 spline axles, should be good to run into the 10's. I am planning on running a 10.5W tire like a DOT Sl...

Re: Shane Stack's 25.2 Drag Radial Monte Carlo

I've seen his car on HP TV, He does the quarter faster than I can do the eight. I call that car a #2. Because by the time I launch he is already at the drive through getting a double cheeseburger and Fries, and back to the finish line before I shift.

Re: Leaf Spring Hangers

How hard is it to put the sliders in? I only run 12.00s is it worth it for me, or spend money elsewhere first? Are they streetable? I still like to drive my car on the street.

Re: The newbie and his TH400

Have you ever heard of REDNECK PERFORMANCE? My dad was looking at their stuff, TH350 w/Trans Bracke and 9.5" converter, for not quite 1400 bucks, I was interested to see if any one else used their stuff.

Redneck Performance

Has anyone here ever used a REDNECK PERFORMANCE trans/converter? I see them selling a TH350 w/Brake and 9.5" converter for about 1350. My dad needs a transmission/converter, this doesn't look like a bad deal.

Re: SCAT ROTATING ASSEMBLIES

So the recommendation is the Forged kit of course. I would like to use a bit of nitrous. I have the LS7 Cam, will it work?

Is it worth it to get a flap wheel in there and smooth everything out? or there is a local shop that will do a pocket port?

Re: SCAT ROTATING ASSEMBLIES

There are two places that are about 5 miles from my house that carry E85. I just read that Car Craft likes it because you can jump the compression up to 12/12.5 to 1.
