ill try just for you lol. if i make it ill have less then a month of testing and tuning. maybe ill be able to find a track rental figure it out and have it runnin some good enough times to take the trip. but the money might not be there. at 19 spendin 12k is a huge deal lol but i kinda started this build in hopes of makin it to the shootout

97LT1 · 03-10-2009, 01:10 PM

Whoa that tublular k looks light. I have the UMI one, and it is a bit different. Are you street driving this?

Also can you give more details on the coil brackets? I have some LS2 coils that im using with LTCC and im always looking for good ideas.

z28rob18 · 03-10-2009, 01:20 PM

yes it will be street driven and i actuall didnt make the coil brackets. i bought them off of YSILT1 and he did an awesome job with the brackets. ill try and get better pictures of the brackets and put them up but if u ask him he could help more then me. and the shipping weight of the kmember was 22lbs so im sure its lik 18-20lbs i bought it from taubrunit

z28rob18 · 03-10-2009, 04:54 PM

yea i just started talkin to the old man about it again he said we'll see i really want to go now lol. hey question for you guys. the rear i got came with 2 sets of gears. 4.30s and 3.70s recently ive noticed all the 6 speed guys run atleast 4.10s are the 3.70s not enough? i dont want to be bogging off the line. but i think the 4.30s will run out on the top end with the 27" hoosiers i hav

silver95 · 03-10-2009, 09:00 PM

You will run out quick with 4.30's, I'm only going 10.90's and I'm out of gear with them..with 28" tall tires. Granted I'm an automatic but when my brother had a six speed in his with 28" tall tires, he was out of gear at 125mph. I would go 3.70's and save the hassle of swapping down the road.

z28rob18 · 03-10-2009, 10:22 PM

so today the girlfriend yes you read right my girlfriend ask if we could take out the back seat so we did and she also removed the visors yesterday here's a few pics

i know the carpet looks lik crap but im replacing it with the stuff from speed inc so i can drop that 25lbs
