say goodbye to that IRS

 

[Jenzpony]

And what will be getting done to yours ??

gears,brakes, and trying to convince timmy of a pi swap!

 

[1990_LX]

One word needed to describe this car............Bitchin.

 

[dsblk93gt]

gears,brakes, and trying to convince timmy of a pi swap!

Yea, get those nice parts on there I tossed in the trunk of the car as some good starter mods lol.

PI swap is over-rated. Get some MHS cams with a PI intake. Already did all the research on it and talked to Nick at MHS. Total difference for going thru the BS of swapping heads, 10-12hp and a loss of 10ft lbs. Not worth yanking heads, buying gaskets, etc..etc. for 10hp. If you want I will send you the info on the cams I had set to order.

4.10's with an auto... keeping the IRS... will be doing mods to it..

Ahh just do 4.30's since you will end up needing some 28" slicks anyways...go all out..already headed that way lol.

There are more COBRA's out there putting over 700 hp to the STOCK halfshafts.... Guess it depends on how you treat your equipment..

 

[TBapp3]

[Timspony]

Yes totally send me info, I am looking to do something different with the car and was leaning towards pi swap even with the hassle so if there is something easier with the same benefits I would be down

My car was the tester for that kit minus the f1 head unit and was in the may 05 mm&ff issue (sonic blue coupe), i hated it personally. Are you going auto and taller gears? Unfortunately the lower compression and 6 speed doesnt do the kit any justice atleast back then it was a terrible idea, hopefully they worked out the issues and refined the kit more. I made 664/559 tq i believe on 22psi thru a D1-sc2. Theres a video on youtube still i believe of a walk around of my old SB coupe with the kit on it...mine was done thru Larocca's

nevermind just read page 2 you are doing 4:10's and auto....

Cool cool I cant wait to see the car with the auto in it at the track!

Good, those prochargers really shine with a lot of Rev, good stall, and an auto IMO.

In b4 solid swap, i thought the same thing and it didn't last long.

As you said, it all depends on what you do with the car. If you don't go to the track much, it will be okay.

My stock halfshafts took 1 launch at 700rwhp to snap. Both shattered at the spindle.

No kidding, didn't know that was your old car. I know a lot of the guys ended up swapping on a 99/01 intake and going air to air due to the severe loss of lowend with the sheet metal upper but I don't remember the specifics.
