thanks man like i said im no chevy guy, but that thing is insane the power and drivability of a turbo setup is awesome. and man do i loved boosted stangs

and home built shit is way cooler than bought kid built the thing with no lift in a garage with his own money. Nice sig!

Thanks man. And no gt40 irons non-p that after porting 4 sets of e7s I ported them myself and had good results.

Nice. I wish I had massaged mine a bit before I slapped them on. I'll do that when I build it. The damn thing just keeps running though, even after all the abuse.

Are your heads off the shelf, or did you pull them off something? Are you wanting to make the switch EFI?

truck looks good. Your buddies Sonoma is hiliarious, 10.38 at 140? Its definitely a turbo car lol. If it had traction I'm sure it would be mid-high 9s with that kind of trap speed.

 

[89Ranger5.0]

lol thanks, and ya idk it hooked well, it needs a trans brake to build boost and bigger slicks on it, but he likes to drive it so he wants to keep it as drivable as possible lol

I bet you love the EFI. After owning an 85 GT that was carb'd, I never want another carb.

Which computer are you using? I would suggest an A9L or A9P if you can get your hands on one. Which injectors are you using? What cam are you going with? I'm running a stock cam with 93 Cobra 1.71 rockers.
