Thanks man. But I used some silicon. It worked pretty good.

I thought I did. But it turns out that I actually put the Wedge on backwards and had the gasket on the wrong side. I must have not been paying close attention back when I installed the ported intake manifold. It ran fine up until the weather got colder. I reinstalled it correctly and used some silicon and soo far soo good.

Hah! Get that porn posted! I ordered hpt, wideband and fuel pressure gauges, and an a pillar pod from our good buddies at FSP yesterday. Lookin good Chris. I'm not looking forward to the subframe bushings. We have a couple cars locally to do right now.

Only thing you're missing is the 21 year scotch.

LOL. I'm not looking forward to it either. I know it will be much easier because I have access to a press, a lift, a torch, and a lot of tools, but it's still going to be an all day job for me. I'm definitely looking forward to learning how to tear my rear cradle apart and put it back together though.

After that, it's some Drag radials and I think I will be 90% ready for next drag season. Hoping for an 11.60 or better.

That's about what I'm hoping for too. If we get through our cars first I'll be sure to post any helpful hints.

Very obtainable goal IMO. I ran a 11.85 with less power and less suspension stuff, also had a pretty unimpressive 60' and a clutch that was about to be toasted. DA wasn't anything amazing either. I think you got itLet us know how the install goes!

I think I had better buy some subframe bushings since I am going to have the cradle dropped anyways. God it never freaking ends.

Got a bonus today and the boss told me im getting a raise the first of the year too. Whoo! More car parts.

Nice! I ended up better off for next year too. I'm excited about the change of pace with this car.

Just checking on this. The front o2s require the extensions, and these are the ones that plug into the back of the heads. The rear o2s hang out from under the transmission and these would plug into the mid pipes, but they aren't required because it is tuned out.

Headers are here. After the Holidays I'll install the Headers and UDP. Then get a tune.

Thanks. I know Bo White mentioned it a couple times that the trick is to heating up the factory glue that holds the bushings in the cradle, and then using a large socket between the frame and the cradle to push the bushings out. Still doesn't mean it's gonna be a cake walk though, but he said it wasn't hard LOL

I don't think you are giving yourself enough credit, 1.7 60ft on street tires is pretty good IMO. I'm not an avid drag racer, but I know the 60ft can make or break your ET. So when you step up to a DR, you're gonna easily cut 1.5 or sub 1.5 60's.

I was on drag radials. Best I got on street tires was 1.866.

Right mike. Although to make it cleaner, I swapped the front and rear O2 signals in the ecm connectors at the fuse box. Then I hooked up the rear O2 connectors to the O2 sensors in the midpipes. Not for everyone, but it's clean!
