**sutyak** · 11-09-2006, 04:14 PM

Turbo.

**Killercanary** · 11-09-2006, 04:55 PM

If everything works as planned, I will have my '95 up and running with the new dart shortblock/AFR heads and quite possibly get my '90GT running with a 5 speed and 5 lug conversion to serve as my track car all by spring.

If money allows I'll also be doing at least one of the following with the '95:
1. Buying a stand alone computer (leaning towards the AEM at this point)
2. Buying a full fuel system (sumped tank, lines, rails, pump, regulator) and possibly injectors
3. Custom chrome moly roll bar

I can't put the turbo kit on until I get number 1 and 2. :(

I'll be doing twins this year if all goes as planned, if not then I will upgrade my supercharger to a D1 with 8 rib setup at about 18#'s of boost.

Whats the wife think about you doing twins? LOL.

I'll be doing whatever it takes to get my car into the 10's w/ the stock longblock.
Here's what I have going so far.....
1. Toss my stock 3.33 pulley in favor of a 2.65 pulley that should put me around 17-18lbs. of boost up from the current 11lbs. I run now.
2. Install my Foxlake ported gt-40 lower and have my upper ported to match the lower and a new 75mm t.b. up from my old 65mm. t.b.
3. Lakewood 90/10 struts, and Moroso trick front springs, maybe a QA1 tubulat K-member.
4. New vlavlesprings for my stock gt-40 irons, new comp cam lifters, and timing chain
5. Possibly a new 8-point roll cage.
6. Anderson Mr. Freeze methanol injection kit
7. Maybe a Vortech T-rex inline pump
8. A new custom burnt SCT chip by Kayffmans

If this dosent get me into the 10's then I dont know what will!!

Rob, do you think you'll have to ditch the 4.10's?

I dont know, I really hope not. Are you asking that because of the way we thought I was hitting the limiter at the track rental? If so, I believe that I was actually blowing my spark out & not hitting the rev-limiter, because the car pulls just like it use to now that I closed my gap down & got a new ignition coil.

**Ares** · 11-09-2006, 06:56 PM

1. Think I am going to build myself a stroker modular over the winter. Been looking at parts and trying to decide on what to use. Will keep it NA for next season but it must be able to take boost or large nitrous shots in future.

2. The 4.10s in rear need replaced badly. I have damaged teeth on ring gear. So I'm going to step up to 4.30 or maybe 4.56 gears.

3. Replace aluminum flywheel with a steel one. I lost way to much in 1/8 this year from the aluminum one.

4. Go over suspension and change out a few pieces

5. Install a cage and whatever safety gear I will need.

6. Goal is 11.0s NA
