  • So what do you think I will break?

    So anyone else been like me and been really avoiding the track?

    Thinking about taking the car to the track on friday... I haven't taken it out in like a year... I know its a bad idea but well, you know I miss it too much and want to take it out.

    hopefully its not the transmission... and hopefully I get a few solid runs...

    Car feels stronger then ever since I gutted the cat, maybe a new best :)

    will be running...
    -spec 2 clutch
    -ghetto tune
    -no Cat, open cutout on stock exhaust.
    -a homemade intake
    -no maf
    -belt pulled
    -auburn diff
    -cheap street tires
    -and some suspension stuff.

    also plan on doing a pretty decent "tune up" of things... plugs wires, pcv, fuel filter, oil, seafoam

      rearend has been whining for about 8 months and like 9,000 miles now :)

      lol, I snapped the outputshaft on the tranny last trip to the track and I had cheaper and 10 mm narrower tires.

              what year is it? What are you using to tune? going VE SD huh? I like it

              Yes, I have been avoiding the track for awhile, but once I go... I'm going all out (I wont care if I do spin a bearing or something)

                2000, and I use hptuners...


                all I do is very very slightly lean it out blindly. Very slightly, probably doesn't really make a difference. Add timing, cut out all the useless things, smooth things out... nothing drastic, hence a ghetto tune. IF I planned to race this car more I would buy a wideband.

                I am not so much worried about spinning a bearing... more just stupid ****.

                Last tim I autocrossed, sheered off a torque arm clamshell bolt. Also lost a panhard rod bolt as well.

                before that, dragstrip brok the output shaft, before that broke a 10-bolt, before that clutch problems.

                      At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                      Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
