Awesome Mark! I'd love to catch a ride before you change your suspension setup. Is it still very streetable or super stiff?

It rides pretty much like stock. It's stiff but nowhere near jarring. I would run a softer rear spring for someone else but the front rides great.

I think most guys just run the cars too soft and too low. If you throw springs on the car with factory bump travel it bottoms out everywhere. I only have this car lowered 1" up front and about 1.25 in the rear, and the spring rate is almost tripled up front. The camber plates I run also add an additional 1" of bump travel so I have more than factory travel (Konis are a bit shorter than stock), and the car is still on the bumpstops very often.

More outside video thanks to Larrry Long...





Think these were taken early little slow in places.

Yeah he loves to attempt full conversations before I try to kill myself. Don't get it. He is a really nice guy and I ignore him every run.

Kinda reminds me of the guy that let us out onto the track at Nelson Ledges. He basically wanted to know what the **** was wrong with me that I was tracking the car. He also told me that, if I piled it up, I wold get injured, even if it didn't happen in the crash. I laughed at the time, but I think he might have been serious.

Damn, that thing is awesome, man.

Have you been on Jefferson since they extended it? I'll be flagging there this Sunday.

Yes I ran jefferson in the spring. It is much better than the bore fest it once was. Still not much runoff room. Don't particularly like the track to be honest.

Got the CJ installed tonight, loaded AED base tune. Feels really strong up top, only took it to 7800 in 2nd, didn't quite run 3rd out. Honestly feel very minimal torque loss, I'm sure once I drive it more I will notice it more but tonight it didn't feel much if any softer than the stock manifold. Drivability is stellar even on the base file. Once I get the part throttle logs sent in I think I will actually get it tuned on a dyno on E85.

I was able to shift it at 7800 tonight but I'm sure a clutch is in my future.

That looks TITS!

Sweet.

Weighed this pig today. Actually much lighter than I thought. With a half tank of fuel and the 18" Jongbloeds....

Do you hate Jefferson any less with the addition?

Yeah, the track is actually pretty fun now. Makes Nelson's look glass smooth though. Stupid bumpy.

[yeahloh95]

that did look like a FUN run

Looks like a blast, and I can definitely tell by the video how bumpy it is! Wish I could see the speedometer for a better frame of reference.

All third and fourth, shifting out of third at 100-110, clocked at 116 passing the girl waving the flag.
