The car is not my D/D but i want to be able to drive it to the track. (40 min away) Car has some weight reduction. Its hot as hell in FL. Im sure im leaving some stuff out. But in general what do you think i should expect from this car at the track? It ran a 13.2 with just some boltons. Im shooting for mid 11's N/A I have had alot of help from Paul (95formula383lt1) thanks. As soon as i get my new dynaspark i should have a startup vid by the end of the week i hope.

Good luck with the track, hope you do well. But i would be more worried about the 10 bolt than the tranny, but then again I have never had a auto in my z. or maybe it's the fact that I have broke to many 10 bolts.

[Dave357LT1]

Autos are easier on the old ten bolt. Im sure it will break but im not gonna change it untill it does or i find a hell of a deal on a S60.

[RamAir95TA]

Might want to rethink the S60 idea. There's been a few issues with them lately. Not the best choice, IMO.

I have seen a few threads on that. I just hate the hp the 9'' eats and how low third member is but hell i still got to break this ten bolt. Ill cross that bridge when i get there.

I've never had an issue with my S60. I've had it for 3 or 4 years now. What's the weight of your car?

[Dave357LT1]

Ive never had it on the scales. But has alot of the easy weight reduction done. The a/c and door bars are still their. And i could go on a cocaine diet

LOL you and me both but if I did that I might not have enough left to spend on the car.

Dont you mean one issue, from one person?

Part of that was the drive line. Tru tracs are hit and miss in any application so I hardly think that can be blamed on the S60

[95formula383lt1]

my guess is it will make 235 rwhp, and run 14.5@96mph on a 150 shot
Your welcome dick head, its always fun slaving over the sybian
