Thanks again to my brother from another hemisphere, Todor!

We were up until 2am in the morning wrenching, called it a night and Ashis and I picked it up from there.

I'm guessing right around 235-240 wheel, but I could be wrong...the butt dyno approves!

Next Up: 3.5 HFM and SharkEdit :buttrock

Then a complete cooling system overhaul.

what was the most annoying part to you mitchel, when I did mine it was that last fuel injector

Well, Todor did more of the work than me...I BBQ'd as promised.

Most annoying part was getting the fuel rail to line up without a kit... That's where Flood/Ashis came in to save the day.

We hooked up a vacuum tester to it and all was/is well!

She pulls hard fella's! Hard!

Dude...it pulled hard enough prior to the M50 Manifold =)

We're running them before you sell your car, if you do.

ugh i hated the m50 manifold project. Mine took forever, and that last fuel injector was definitely one of the worst parts. did you notice a difference right away? usually it takes driving it for a while for your ecu to adjust to the new air flow. I know mine definitely took a while

i went 15.0 at 103. didnt use first. too much axle hop. thats why i want to go back. raced a hemi charger and he got me one the line because i wasnt using 1st, by the 1/8 we were even, 1/4 he was down a couple lengths. :nono

my 60fts were like 2.3-2.5 or something stupid. and r/t was around a .7-.8!

I just took the car out my garage for the 1st time in awhile, no nawz in the tank right now. :( I wanted to have some fun tonite.

I never drive the M so I don't use it much, but I only use if im on the drag strip or racing somebody that I would normally lose to I guess...


Edit: Its very safe:cool:shifty

they aren't.

$150 ebay headers and d/a race is ~20rwhp alone due to restrictive US spec headers.

Hehe, I'll be fortunate if I can manage 45whp over stock specs and stay N/A.

Your cars are dropping into the mid 20's, the aftermarket for them is going to be huge over the next few years.
