I bet it does get crazy on 350HP n2o, I just got mine fired up today and it sounds good. I think it will run good on the motor but I really want to spray 150 to start and then well see. What kind of shocks are you running in the rear Jake? I am looking at some Starnge double adjusatbles but they are expensive. LMK Later Clint

Just noticed this in your sig:
"THE FIRST NITROUSED POWERED LT1 IN THE 8's"

When did you first accomplish an 8-second run? There is at least one other guy on this board who has his nitrous-powered LT1 in the 8's. I saw him make several such passes at M12 (October 2007), and I don't think that was his first time running that fast.

They come with all required mounting hardware and do not use the factory style rubber upper strut mounts. They don't cost that much more if you have to replace the strut mounts any ways.

I'm sure some people may have done it, but noone has posted any info on the forums I'm on. So maybe he is trying to keep it a secret?

Carry on with your claim -- I think you might be safe.

I think that reading comprehension is not exactly your strong point

But good luck anyway.

Well I'm thinking a set of 29.5" slicks next year. I'm doing a little motor work also so it might turn a little more rpm. Just have to figure that out before I swap out gears.
