Would be fun to do the pole position go kart racing also, I used to go once a week and haven't been racing since about a month ago... I usually strap my drift Ghost to my helment and tape...

    Swapping mufflers.... to just resonators??

    My normal mufflers are offset, as in goes in the muffler closest to the driveshaft, and then comes out farthest from the driveshaft, I don't think they would just 'weld' or 'clamp' right in place due to that? Could be wrong though!

It is pretty quiet...... My muffler is literally half of an inch or less from touching my aluminum...

    All the times are only 1/8 miles, at ranges from 76-78.9MPH times ranged from 9.00-9.8.... Seems very off for what the mods are. The more I think about it the less probability I'll be shooting nos. I've heard people say my biggest limiting factor is my performance edelbrock intake, any...

    Engine "guts" and bore?

    The people who owned it before me obviously put it through its paces (first time I opened the glove box there were at least 30-35 drag slips), If it has been beat that hard would seals internally be shot already? I pulled off a valve cover and looked at one of the rocker arms and it seemed...
