Cars that launch hard...

You may want to keep an eye on your rear floor area behind seat where upper control arms mount. I have begun to notice a slight squeek coming from my trunk area since this past sunday. Upon looking I have noticed that my passenger side upper mount has begun to get pulled from floor. The welds are holding but floor is slightly bent out towards the rear end and welds have gone from slighty flush to sunken by over 3/16".

I guess its time to fully weld these mounts in and install battle boxes before I rip something out.

Ares I can not beleave the 1/4 times your pulling with the 3.27 gears. When are you going to change them and dip into the 12,s.

Oh I will get it into the 12's with touching motor or rearend. The goal is 12's with basically how it came from factory. Right now I firmly belive I only need to fine tune the suspension.

I have two more small bolt on's to try before messing with suspension. If all that doesnt work then I will install 3.73's

More power to ya brother. Alot of people over look the suspension upgrades that are key to hooking up and planting all the power to the ground. What mods have you done and also plan on doing to the suspension?
