My S197 Project build thread

I also put the moroso Drive shaft loop in, the way they want you to install it is to remove the x or h pipe so the hangers are out of the way and it slides around the rubber bushing. Since I didn't like that Idea I cut around it so it clears with the hangers on.

i think you'll get real close to high 11s especially with that shaft, theyre known to drop about 2 tenths.

Great choice on the axle exchange 1 piece

Some of you wanted to see the plastic ported intake I have, kind of crappy pics but heres some quick shots. I also painted it and added my little touch on the top with a shop sticker

Also just test fitting the bling bling t-body!

Car goes on the dyno today to see the differnce with the ported intake, throttle body testing will be tomorrow.

If I gained 5hp at the wheels id be more then happy lol

enjoy

Looks amazing!

My next few things to do will be getting Qa1 coil overs for the front and adjustable rear shocks

Matt, do you power shift ever gear? Have you tried launching lower then 6000 rpms? You have to be spinning. I bet if you change out the springs, put on the anti roll bar that you have, and launch at 5k rpms instead of 6k you'll be in the 11s easy.

Im not spinning at all I wont launch it under 6000, once I change the suspension it will only help me more to get into the 1.5 sixty foots

I got a 1.60 sixty foot best with sportline springs lol

I bang every gear hard lol watch my videos

Damn the car is looking great !!

 

[95ragtop]

Done any more work yet to get that car into the 11's?

 

[lostsoul]

I havnt updated this thread is mad time, so of course the frpp intake manifold on it.

I just did the qa1 coil over front last night with the caster camber plates and the rear race shocks. They arn't the greatest pics but meh...

knocked off 14lbs off the front

(the caster camber goes inder the tower like oem style)

If you plan on buying the coil overs make sure you buy the $20 adjusting tool it makes it alot easier!

 

[Matt D]

im going to the track this weekend

 

[matt texass]

For the QA1 caster camber plates- is there any kind of grinding or rigging that needs to happen to make them fit like the new edges?

Is that Scale accurate? Has it been calibrated before and after the DaSilva racing sticker? has the DaSilva Racing sticker been weighed separately? has the adhesive on the sticker been weighed? has it been weighed at gross weight with the protective backing around the adhesive for research purposes?






j/k man, good luck getting that thing to a 11.99 or better.

 

[matt texass]

Awesome, did the rear QA1's weigh the same as the stock shocks?

I forgot to weigh them -_- they felt the same
