What drag radial should I get? Keep in mind my car is still mostly stock. Best run is 15.6x. I just dont want to be burning my strret tires up. I bought an extra set of 10 spoke rims.Tires I want 275-40-17. I plan on switching wheels at the drag strip or even if Im in a hurry throw the DRs on the back and drive there (220 mile round trip).
Ive been looking at these
MT ET Street Radial
Nitto NT05R
Nitto 555r
Thats really about all Ive looked at.

Bought another set of wheels for some drag radials.

As it turns out my car is sitting a little early this winter. Found antifreeze on on top of the intake in a couple small pools. Looks like ill have to fix that this winter. Also what can I clean my throttle body, intake, and valve cover covers.

Bad news

As it turns out my car is sitting a little early this winter. Found antifreeze on on top of the intake in a couple small pools. Must of ran down the back of the motor and leaking on the ground. Looks like ill have to fix that this winter. Also what can I clean my throttle body, intake, and valve cover covers.

coolant on top of intake sounds like you have a hose leaking...should be easy to find out which one.

I hope a hose is all it is. I hope its not an intake gasket leak like my dad and I think. Its like on both sides of the intake Ill take the hose leak even tho Id like to take the intake and valve covers off and clean them up and maybe paintt them

I cleaned my engine down with Gunk foamy engine cleaner. The inside of the TB can be cleaned with TB cleaner. Valve covers, if pulled off, can be cleaned with the engine degreaser or brakleen (same with intake).

insidethreat07 · 10-08-2012, 10:51 PM

Prob an irrelivent question but which one of the 2 gaskets you think would be better. Im almost 100% sure its the intake gasket:

demonspeed · 10-09-2012, 08:46 AM

I've always used Fel-Pro. Usually what is always in stock at 99% of parts stores, too. If you feel adventurous, maybe now is a good time to try that spacer thing out, lol

insidethreat07 · 10-15-2012, 11:57 PM

As some as you may know I need to replace my upper intake for sure. Im going to do the bottom one as well as long with elbows. Heres everything I have so far:
Fix upper and lower intake gaskets
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...6_482003_5297_
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...er=148754_0_0_

Cooling Elbows
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...7_155956_2826_

Would these elbows be better?
http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...nt-Elbows.aspx

Would I need a water pump gasket?

Valve cover gaskets since im taking them off and cleaning/ painting them:

Also what is the length of our serp belt?
Im getting a new one as well since my old one is starting to crack

Any other gaskets I would need?
