I was told they were doing a 427 car for the owner. Some pics may be "Top Secret", I'll have to see. I can always edit out plate #s.
I'm kicking around after market trailing arms but I am not convinced they will suppress wheel hop.

OHH HELL Yeah!!! GO Windy!
That's Cool. Do me a favor.. take a couple pic's of my car and send them to me while you are there.
Mine is the red Jewel Tint with white stripes... VIN # 139797
I havn't seen it yet. I just know it exists "somewhere" out in the world.
Or, so I've been told. Sure would like a picture of it.. especially one of the engine, "before it comes apart"..
I will say nice things about your car afterwards I can be bribed...

Apply one tube of permagrin before you walk in the door! Man, that would be cool just to be there!

Are you driving home? going to see it on the dyno? With a Videocam?

Details, MAN! Spill yer Guts!

I'm thinking more squat and more suppression (shock). I don't think torque should be such an issue. Having a hard time envisioning trailing arms suppressing hop.

You whore!
I will get pics, high res and send them your way. My car won't be ready, we are just going on a site seeing mission. My friend is a big road race guy, he is into European stuff. (won't hold that against him) It should be fun. I work 14 hours a day, typically 6 days a week and haven't had any time off in years. If I know who's is what's I'll take pic requests and forward or post.
Hang in there brothers, we will all be going to church soon!

My mapping software is telling me 195 miles from downtown Sweet Home. I'm guessing 2-1/2 hours by Road Glide.

Bound to help a little by removing the rubber and going with poly. Not sure the bigger size bar is what is fixing it. I'm waiting until After being Pedderized for that decision.

I say we concentrate on upgrading the other stuff (axles, tires, clutch, etc.) and circle back about this time at LPE for the U/G to the 650.. like they say.. if you can't beat them, join them!

Glad I don't need to drive a mustang, anyway. The 650 cars are going to rock! I am happy to be a 'lil brother (for now).

Definately going to upgrade other stuff over the winter!! I don't mind bein a minority right now at 570 - but I always strive to be as strong as the big brother.

Hey Windy - have fun at LPE!!! It was a blast being there and seeing the cars. Man, if I was only 2 1/2 hours away, my wallet would really be empty.

Man, that is too close, I think I would become a bother to all the boys at LPE.
Have a sweet ride up there, and watch out for the road hogs!

Ok, bought the BMR trailing arms too. Overkill? I don't know. At least I can pass on what I find out!
