Crazy Pete, did that all come out of your head or were you writing that down somewhere? Holy cow!

[CrazyPete]

hahaha over the last 5 years ive typed that on several websites and all the money ive spent on that car ive remembered

[69 GTX]

You know what, I am kind of the same way, it is pretty easy to remember things when they cost as much as they do. I have a pretty good running tally on all my cars, good thing about the present one is I have gotten most of my stuff out of the salvage yard, minus the grille I found and the floorpans that the ding dong I bought the car from actually came through on. So, other than my labor and lots of that, I am doing pretty well so far.

Just sick! Have you had any problems with the dirve shaft(s) going to the rear? I did some autocrossing a while back and there was a guy with a full tilt Plymouth Laser AWD. He had a custom one pice drive shaft built but even that would brake from time to time. What kind of power do you think it's putting out?

[CrazyPete]

well im smart i only launch hard a few times a year at 5500 rpms(usually i keep it to 4000rpm when im playing at a stoplight around town) so far no issues im waiting to get my rear end upgrade from a 3 bolt to a 4 bolt my tranny builder told me that the first hard launch late at night the tire shake will explode the rear end so i kinda baby it..............oh hp now when the boost is at 22psi id guess 375+ hp now i got it set lower for driving around town 18 psi any boost over 14 psi and i use a 50/50 mix of 110 and 91 otherwise she'll knock on me
