You sure aren't wasting any time with this!

As for parts at Carlisle... the GM show seems to have only junk in the vendor section. I can't believe you made the trek from Carlisle to Talmadge, though!

I was a man on a mission! I will have mounted wheel pics tonight

cam99 · 06-25-2012, 07:22 PM

OK. Took a break from all the weight loss to get these mounted up and snap a couple pics. On the way to take these I found out how much better the car feels with the fat trimmed so far.

Nice Looks Great Man! You already dropped tons of weight off that pig

Any plans to lower it? Or just leavin it stock?

Blueovalman · 06-26-2012, 04:14 AM

Looks very clean I really like it!

Good question what springs are you going with?

cam99 · 06-26-2012, 06:05 AM

Planned on leaving stock ride height, however it seems to be riding higher with the jenny craig action, so I'm not sure now

cam99 · 06-26-2012, 06:10 AM

Quick pick of my custom home made radio block off plate. Going to paint it before I finish installing it

While the stance looks awkward, it will transfer the weight better than the regular lowering setups. I think if you do anything at all, you'll probably want to look at the QA1 drag setup. There may be more affordable options, too.

It transfers like a mofo right now, but does look odd. Hope the front might settle a bit. Took a good bit of weight off the nose. I'm going to put a full list and weight in here

Interesting how much weight can add up!

Dave Coyle · 06-27-2012, 10:16 AM

When are planning on a "test" run at the track to see where you are at time wise? Rule of thumb is .1 off your E.T. for every 100 lb. decrease.

planning on going to test and tune tomorrow, however it's going to be hot and humid so DA will be through the roof.
