ahh the tuning curve begins::: :crazy:



tonight was a reminder that i really need a gear i was going thru the lights in 2nd gear @4,000 rpm. I think a gear would also get the 60 ft down to a respectable time mid 1.60's.and put it into the 7's.



I also need to try out the n2o kit too :D and to get the carb,timing, and suspension dialed in.

It just needs some tlc :D



plus i relized that neither carbs the secondaries were opening on. one has a blown diaphram and the 850 has the black spring in it.

got most of what i couldnt get fixed last night finished up tonight. car feels 300% better then it did. We will be taking it back in two weeks hopefully :crazy:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
