Re: Project Sleeper
his camaro has a 383 with Dart aluminum heads, a victor jr style carb intake, a really healthy cam, built th350 [manual/auto valvebody] w/ a 3,500 stall and 4.10. I rode in it today, it pulls hard. My buddies 96 Cobra with the termy drivetrain and ported blower [460 rwhp] would leave it though...

Re: Project Sleeper
I finally drove my stang home today!! A hard fought victory for the home team!!!!! She runs better than she ever did, and I havent had a problem with the idle surging since I put on some new o2s.

I had to change one plug wire to cure a miss, swap in the battery from my fox and had 0 problems on the ride home. Well, except i had to stop and clean the windshield. yuck...

I can tell you this from one 45 mile drive;
My brand new throw-out bearing is now chirping a little bit and the cruise control only worked when it felt like it.
The front end bounced a little bit, likely from the blown struts. Reminded me of my minitruckin' days.
I must fix the a/c and put my cd player back in. I also have to figure out how to put the computer in its place.
My steering seems to have some play that more noticable with speed. I need c/c plates and maybe a bumpsteer kit?
I want to install my explorer intake sometime soon. I wanna help my baby breathe!!
Lastly, I need to put the sway bar back on too. I don't like that much body roll. Paint can wait, you cant see it from the driver's seat =]

Re: White95's build thread
These are MAC 3" tips
Besides the slack in the steering, I was happy with the ride/drive. I'm definately bottoming out my struts and I can compress them by hand. So that'll be one of my first moves. I snuck out of the neighborhood this morning and got some powershifts in on the highway and she responded very well She's no rocket ship, but it feels like mid to high 13 car now.
pm sent :thumbsup: Yes, I was so tired of driving from Central to G-town just to work on my car for a few hours and return home. Seemed like I was spending more time driving than working. Its a 80-90 mile round trip for those who didn't know.

Re: White95's build thread
They may be slightly out of whack, but I cant tell. I used two pieces of paper to compare them, and they look like they are not paralell. you want the center line of the ball joint, the center line of the control arm bolt to be one line, and the center line of the tie rod end and where it pivots inside the boot to be paralell. The reason I cant tell for sure is that pictures are sometimes distorted. I wonder, did you put the toe, caster/camber to stock spec?
