^Sweet dude!

Kevin, do you have an adjustable panhard? I bet those fattys you got are going to stick out a bit, and did you think about cutting out the bumpstop brackets in the rear too since you went with the 325's?

i just tried that do it yourself transfer paper thing but it look like shit.

also want to put some kind of chatch phrase on the front.

HellsBells, are you able to make this happen??

 

[S197gt07]

Its not hard to remove the bumpstops. I've just heard if you go with the 325's, they can get in the way and when you launch the car they will contact, and unload the rear end on launch.

Yeah, I was looking at them yesterday and I think its only 2 bolts on each side. Hopefully I can get them on tonight and try them out.

 

[S197gt07]

You are looking at the bumpstops, they have 2 T-40 screws that hold them in. Thats not what we're talking about, its the bracket things that are on the body behind where the wheel will be.

There are a few threads on here of people running 325's and how they cut them away.

I should of kept saying brackets to not confuse you

Sounds like a plan. Hope to see you around. I work in providence too.

Still waiting to hear back but I don't think he's so interested in a 1-2 shirt run.

My god. Its so freaking nice outside...

When do you get out of work? I'm debating putting my car on the dyno!

Nevermind, MPE is busy today. Do you guys think weather would affect dyno numbers? They said probably tomorrow but it's raining tomorrow.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

I get out at 4. If you do that you can see my new wheels and tires! Ill be home around 430-445

Ah damn it. Maybe tomorrow or wednesday? MPE said $65 for 2 pulls, $75 for 3 pulls on their dyno. Does that seem right as far as pricing?

Also, any other dynos near Boston?

 

[Jeepngli]

I think thats pretty fair for up here and not a dyno a day. Ive seen 100-150 in nj for dynos on a given day. Go for it. But lets play the guess the numbers game. Give us all ur mods before u go

That's about right. You should only need 2 pulls. Tomorrow or Wednesday is fine with me, as long as its after 430. You can check out Guido's ride while you are there!

How pissed would you be, Billy?

 

[Jeepngli]

Could be worse. He could have a roush charger that needs that extra boost to make power
