Mine is 25-28% slip right now. Imagine how much faster I'll go with a good converter. I see 7's at 18psi.

The heat is normal. I do races which gives a good hour cool downs. Also start the car and hit the line. No idling, moving in the lanes.

You just need to hang out with turbo people. Wasting a lot of $$.

I got my AFCO setup from Midwest chassis.

Since they are the experts with suspensions on these cars, they speced them out and nailed it.

Awesome i just got off the phone with them an hour ago. I was going to go with the AFCO's but trying to save a little money and He told me that those new Viking's are a great product so i trusted what they told me and went with them and 300lb springs.

I'd throw some 3:20's area gears in it to to help out. Be alittle better for the converter especially with a 27" tire and not a 28" it'll be close enough to the 3:42 ratio spec. Ifthe converter was spec'd with a 28 tire for 3:42's that is.

Wish I could use 320s It wouldnt of even been a debate which gear it was 3.08 or 3.42 and i wanted more streetable gear which these are awesome for I wish the moser had something between. I think the new coil overs will help hook. The guy who just swapped gears said to go 3.42s would be the ssame price which pissed me off considering he did all my seals and everything I figured he wwould cut a deal but nope ssame 625! If someone on here wants to help out ill gladly pay I hate gear oil that much!
