upgrading for the Shootout

[Speed Inc.]

started the round of mods this past weekend

-PA Racing front spindles
-Strange 1st Gen F-body brakes
-Strange rear 4th Gen F-body brakes
-JakesZ/28 manual brake kit ( Strange master )
-Strange double adjustable front Struts/Springs ..I know not brakes, but it's part of the mod :)

also scaled the car

3310 w/out me
3500 race weight w/me

I will scale it again after the above changes + removing front M/T Sportsmans for some ET Fronts.

hoping to see 100 + #'s gone

pics when complete!

Oh no he's at it again..lol

I take it your front wheels will actually make a full 360* rotation if spun off the ground?

[1FASTSS]

Yeah its funny since I can't even get a full rotation on the camaro but I can get almost 3 full rotations on the V.

Did you go with the race or street rotors?

[Speed Inc.]

std. race rotors

looking to save weight :)

It's all about your bank roll, Mike.

[AChotrod]

I dont have bank roll. Speedinc owns all my money! lol

[Speed Inc.]

It's all about your bank roll, Mike.

I don't have no bank roll...it's called saving and pinching pennies since I have a 4 year old boy which is more important then anything.

+ I got 2 surprise bonuses outside of work recently which is making this all possible

Mike I'm glad I can help you waste money on this bad hobby as we all do :)

[Speed Inc.]

spindles arrived, so back to work tomorrow since lots of OT at the shop Fri-Sat

that seem way too light considering mine was 3310 without me a few weeks ago and I know I got a lot more out of my car then you

I checked the scales I used by my weight and it was right on.

I can scale your car at the shop if you remind me.

[AChotrod]

Cool!!! I will need it done. I dunno why its so light, I just took out the super easy stuff. Unless the scales just suck at Byron and GLD, or maybe Formulas are just that light?
We will find out soon!

[Speed Inc.]

yeh...we will have to check it out

I might put them back on after the event since I really like to drive my car and do not like the feel of the drags.
