MYBAD79 gave me this hood about two years ago. He modified it to make it a high rise, but otherwise, it's a stock '79 hood. I weighed it, 45lbs, and started removing mass. I got it down to 35 lbs without trying too hard. Next, I will try hard and I think I will vent the hood and remove the...

I didn't want to leave out my Vette Mod buddies. How's it going Twin Turbo and My Bad 79? Bee Jay I've been travelling, but I'm home for a couple of weeks. I decided to finally tear into the heavy a$$ door and see about losing some weight there. After removing the interior trim, you see that...

I bought this Magnaflow muffler at the Pomona Swap meet last weekend. It's a dual 2.5" in and dual 2.5" out. The muffler only weights 15lbs. So I decided to replace two 20lb Flowmasters with one 15lb Magnaflow for a weight savings of 25lbs. Only problem is that I'm back to being too loud. But at...

I don't have any AC or heater, but I have a hole in my firewall. So, first I bought this at the Pomona swap meet: It came with a stainless steel cone filter. No oiling needed, just rinse and air hose. Then I ordered this cone air filter can from Summit: I made the hole larger in my AC...

Hi guys. I don't get here much during the week. For some reason my work server blocks this site. I had to post about my first quarter mile runs since installing the LT4 Hot Cam and RPM Air Gap Intake. I've been fiddling with the fuel injection and ignition timing since I put this LT4 Hot Cam...

I figured I need to move some of my projects over here. This is old but may still be helpful to someone contemplating doing this. Bee Jay I tried to add to a much earlier thread on this topic, but it is closed. Anyways, I finally started my batwing install this weekend. I have my trailing arms...

I got tired of getting my body color Pace Car front spoiler painted almost annually, twice this year. I decided to add a splitter to protect the paint and maybe add some performance. I started with 1/4" plywood and came up with this. If this works good, I can use this as a pattern and cut one...

Recently my car was involved in a minor front end mishap. Since I had to remove the front bumper to make repairs, I took advantage of the situation to modify the front end to make the center license plate area a functional air intake. This is how the bumper looked when I got it back from the...

After numerous requests, I am documenting my rear sway bar mods. This what I did to fit the rear sway bar with my 9 1/2" wheels and 275/40-18 tires. First, remove the sway bar, it measures 46" wide at the end link. Second, place a 45" length of 2x4 between the end links, and cinch it in place...

Any one here modify their frame to fit large wheels and tires? I'm hoping to do 6" of backspacing to fit my 10.5" with 295/35-18 tires on the rear. I have the chalked area that I am concerned about enough clearance. I won't know for sure untill my 2" spacers arive, but you can see the wheels and...

Big Bird gave me a computer controlled HEI for Christmas. Thanks again Big Bird. I will do some wiring today, my day off, and I will be ready to install tonight or later this week. Then my Holley Pro-jection ECU will control my spark advance. I just don't know how to install a computer...

I got a $25 gift certificate from Summit. I'm thinking of replacing my aluminum belt driven water pump with an electric one. This used to be a racer only part, but the guys I talked to at SEMA said that they are excellent for the street. The biggest advantage is full water flow at idle and slow...

I posted this in the other forum, but I thought you guys would really appreiciate this, especially Twin Turbo. I saw tons of '60s and '70s muscle cars with LS engines. Lots of scantilly clad girls and the usual amount of celebreties. Then I stumbled upon this bad boy. Twin Turbo 9 liter Big...

I asked this over on the other forum also, but I think all the engineers are over here. Twin Turbo, what do you think? I'm in the middle of installing my aluminum batwing diff cover, crossmember. There is a frame crossmember just behind where I will be mounting the batwing brackets. This...

Hi guys. I just now found out about this site. OK if I hang out too? I heard Twin Turbo is here. Is Norval here too. Do I have to quit the other site to be here? Bee Jay
