Cut and buffed now so it's on the car now.
Saving up to get the trunk done so it will be complete. |

Update
Replaced my th400 over the weekend. Got 50k miles out of it before it started flaring in second. Had a good run. Also I'm putting some TSP 2" headers on to replace my OBX 1 7/8 headers. I had them coated as well. Also new to me drag pack and a set of rears with hard radials for daily use. Internally I'm replacing my valve springs on the PRC 260 heads since they have 40k miles on them. |

What rims and tire do you have? I have the 17x10 Racestars and am wanting to do a hard radial for normal use too and then throw the drag tires on for tracking

Bo - looks great after all the racing ‘love’ you’ve given her. 40k on springs? Wow, I’ve been told 20k to be safe. You got good mileage from those...

I know proper spring care and abide by it. I replace springs when rpm falls off and mine has.

Yesterday I finished up my 5" Megalodon Cold Air intake. Got it to the dyno for testing. 7rwhp gain. About what I expected. Figured I'd get at least 5 lol.

I'm staying with the 243/255 size cam. ARP main studs 72lb FIC injectors Johnson 2116 tie bar lifters |

Just to update.
Had to put off having my trunk lid finished because of my engine spitting a piece of piston out. Now that expense is behind me I can now have it finished. Looking good! He till has to cut and buff it out and finish my spoiler.
