    Street to strip. Looking to build a mid-9 sec street car on 10.5 inch tires.

    That definitely sounds like it would be a fun handful on the street. Im not building mine for a daily driver by any means. It dont even see 3,000 street miles a year now as it is. But here in mid-michigan we have a ton of car shows and cruse's and its common to have grid lock jams. Im wanting to...

    Nice job cranking out low 9's. How's it act on the street as far as distance and temp in traffic?

You might wanna check that ground and your reference wire again...

    Front Trick Help!

    I decided to go with the QA1 front coil overs. Then you dont have to worry about cutting off to much and you dont have to R&R the springs 2-3 times. That was the biggest handling improvement ive made. Plus i can lift the front bumper 6 inches with one hand. Excellent wight transfer and higher...

    Gas Gauge is off

    Hi form Flint Michigan. I'm also a new member. Did the gas guage work properly before you removed the cluster? If it did the problem probably the guage itself. If your not sure, you can pick up a fuel tank sending unit at any of your local auto parts store. But you'll need to lower your tank...

    I currently have a 5.3 ls and a slue of different small blocks. Along with many other people I'm undecided on which engine to go with or which type of power adder. The car currently runs 13's, but I'm trying to get to the stripe before my father in his '69 Chevelle. I've currently QA1 suspension...
