Where are we at? Erick love those gauge pods nobody is gonna even try you at a light with those things lit up at night, they'll be humble lol.

Well done Zeke. Welcome back. Luckily that kind of sh!t doesn't happen very often.

My fuel line for flipping the rails comes today. Once I have that I should be able to finish wiring up the solenoids and plumbing everything. I still have a full set of bushings to put in the rear end. Trailing arms too.

How's your car coming along? I don't know that I have seen any updates since you bought new pistons.

It's ok so far, it's super cold up here (-1 today and -30 Monday) and we just got 14" of snow lol. No snow blower cause of mods :-( so luckily I have kids :-) got them snow suits and made them shovel.

I want to paint the engine bay and rewire some brake lines before I drop it in there. The motor is ready but it has a 1500 dollar bond. Saving for that, heads are done though I got those and they were 700 to get outta jail lol. Then all of the nickel and dime crap that will kill ya like gaskets and stuff.

I'll be ordering my triple pod and afr gauge

You're in about the same boat as me then. $1500+ to the finish line. Probably more like $2k by the time I add tires. I think it's doable in 4 months time. Gonna be close. Sounds like a lot has come together already.

Ject · 01-03-2014, 09:28 AM

I need advise for a-pillar guages. I'm going with the ADM boost guage infront of the steering wheel but I want an A pillar as well to display a few items but was wondering what brand of guages are recommended.

Lol I wish! I'm also gonna need slicks and a really nice cage 8 point cage.

900 for the cage installed and another 1k for wheels and tires figuring wheels/tires are about 250 each.

thahemp · 01-03-2014, 09:38 AM

Yikes. I'm going to make sure I don't go faster than 11.5.

if you do, you'd be okay with a RPM rollcage like I've got (good to 10.0)... I doubt i'll ever go faster than 10.0.. costs too much money lol

mp51998 · 01-03-2014, 10:13 AM

Sorry to rehash a topic but a few pages back y'all were recommending to use Reine D4 ATF. Was that for a manual transmission as well? Looks like it should take just under 4.5 qts. Is that everyone experience? Thx. I'm on my way out and want to pick up some.

I'm using PLX and like 'em. You can get the multigauge and run multiple boxes into one and then you just touchscreen and toggle between them.
BUT...I would really like to have some analog gauges at this power level running down the track. It's just easier to see what's going on in that brief of a time. I learned what it meant to barely get out of the groove at my local track at the top of second gear. It made me respect the car and pay attention better...that's for sure.

Update on my car idling with the new super quiet dynomax vt mufflers only problem I have with these is the valve tinks at idle but other than that they sound awesome in cabin I will definitely be getting cutouts for the fest ha I'm also attaching a few clips of our local cruise night in my buddies 2011 rs camaro

Mine are the AEM ones in case you didn't notice when we were installing them

. The pillar was Autometer.

I put some numbers through the Wallace racing 1/4 mile calculator. 4000lbs and a little over 500 HP looks like where I need to stop. I can't afford to do a cage before May. It looks like a cam + even the smallest jets would put me under 11.5. I just bought 2 18" vette wheels, so I'll be able to hook. I'm considering putting the cam off until I can afford a cage.

Yep... it's especially for the manual tranny. I just filled mine with Amsoil ATF. Much better in cold weather. Everything seems to have gotten smoother. I still have high RPM 2nd gear grind though. I think I need the IdealG master cylinder to completely get rid of it. Expect to get a little less than 4 quarts in. I bought a gallon of the Amsoil and got almost the whole jug in.

mp51998 · 01-03-2014, 11:05 AM

Thx hemp. I dont get the second gear grind to much. I'm running a twin disc and I think that helps. I am still looking at the master upgrade. A little at a time. Soon it'll be a completely new car.

Lol hey hemp is there an option on the faces of the AEM afr gauge? I don't want the white one. I like the black one. I'm about to order it from FSP.

They come with black and white faces. Really easy to change.
