Yes, another part of the reason my car was down so long. I sheared the output shaft off the tranny last summer. I ordered the new RPM level IV but never had time to install it. I got a guy to do it for me but he made a mess of it, so this time I will do it right myself.
Thanks!

Weld wheels and slicks and skinnies, it is in drag strip mode now.
My street setup is CCW's and Nittos.

That's what I do to my Jeep now. Everytime that took it to a mechanic it would come back either not fixed or something else messed up. So I just do it on my own. It's better that way for me cause I learn more things and if it breaks you can't blame anyone but yourself.

Up until 10 years ago all I did was wrench of farm equip. To be honest with you I miss the satisfaction of fixing things.

Decided to take a few pics of the car in one of our pecan orchards, before the mods start coming.

So far I just have headers, 3in exhaust, suspension, ported throttle body and an MPD1 spoiler. But as soon as I finish doing my taxes hopefully I will be able to get a Turbonetics turbo kit and some wheels and tires. If only I could write it all off as farm expenses .

I was planning on installing the exhaust and throttle body today, but with all this wind and a little too much green beer last night, I didn't end up making it to the shop.

Green Beer......

Cool on the turbo kit, we need a turbo Camaro in town. Maybe you can come to the Clint strip sometime and help me pick on the Rustangs.

Cool, I look foward to it, I hope the Clint strip is better maintained than Arroyo Seco. By the way, what clutch set up have you been using, I am looking to replace my clutch before I go with the turbo and trying to get some recomendations.

I am running the Lingenfelter twin disk, it is awesome. For the strip you will like the turbo, as it ramps up on the power a little slower than the maggie SC. It will make your launch a lot easier. Even with the slicks I am having to feather the throtle.

They are taking better care of it now, and sweep the track before each nights runs. I usually pay for the to VHT 200' when I go run. Just sucks when all the street tires ruin it before I can get in more than few runs.

Ok, found out that we will be working overtime but it is not mandatory. I will be going this weekend! What time do you plan to roll through Alamogordo?
