    G body Twist

    The twist actually come from the right rear of the axle lifting and that section of the car laying onto the lifting axle. It isn't what you think. The power isn't pulling the front of the car up twisting the frame. It's the rear of the car causing the crooked launch.

    Big meats no frame notch, just lip roll!!

    My opinion is the taller tire creates a larger contact patch. And the rim is too small for that tire. But I don't do much :)

    Solid Roller cams?

    I run a solid roller that's a billet core but has a cast gear pressed onto it. I run a melonized gear on the distributor and I've got about 2000 miles on it with zero wear.

    Manual brakes+++UPDATE++w/more pics

    Re: Manual brakes with pictures that upper hole yields a 5.5:1 ratio. depending on the master it is correct. for a 1 1/8 strange master a 6.5:1 is needed but for a 1.032 it is correct.

    S10 Brake Upgrade - Documented

    Actually the wieght wasnt the reason for the upgrade. it was to get rid of the lousy gm calipers. These dont require a special spindle and are bolt (just have to modify the stock spindle) And if you need replacement pads the same day you havent been doing routine maintenance..lol.

    S10 Brake Upgrade - Documented

    Wow...that is ridiculous! you could have gotten a wilwood 4 piston setup for less than that.. with drilled and slotted rotors and about 20 pounds lighter than that. Mean 78's total is more of a reasonable amount for a low budget upgrade. Good job bro.

    Burning out alternators

    check the draw. fan motors will usully draw under 14 amps each depending on brand. if voltage drops into the 11,s thats like the engine is cranking all the time.. it takes 100+ amps of draw to get down into the 11,s

    Vacuum pump or crankcase evac system?

    I use a moroso 4 vane enhanced pump system. The reasons i run one is more for better sealing and to keep any oil out of the chamber. I didnt see anygains out of the system but it keeps everything leak free.
