I've got the Lakewood model as well. I also have the Ford Aluminum driveshaft - it's close, but it doesn't rub.

As for placement, I've got mine a few inches behind the U-joints. I thought that the instructions told you where to put it? Maybe I'm wrong though as it's been a long time since I installed my loop.

As I recall, the curvature of the braket matches up with the underside of the car so that you have a pretty good idea where it goes. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to seat properly on the body. Does this make sense?

Good luck,
E

Hurry up with that install. I want to know what your car runs. With good weather and a good launch you should see 12.9's. Those heads love timming. And what are you going to set your fuel at? I turned mine down to 45 and it runs like a raped ape. It is freaking great. Take it easy man. Let us know what she runs.

well I did not get to run it at the track But I will get it Dyno too soon I am going to setup a time this week to tell you the truth I dont know what Fuel i have it set it... I have a fuel Gauge But I have to hook it up and take it off I should get one,,,,,, so I drove the cra hard and started addjusting it tell I got to where it runs good now then I set the timming to 16-17. Runs Ok I am running 93 Gas in it I am going to try some Octan Boster in it I think it Might need it......

I have done a few G-tech Passes with teh wieght at 3550 that what I was I did 14.3@105mph with bad wheel spin.....I need new tires some BFG might help it out a bitI think I should trap about 107-108 with out to much Work the car is 2940Lbs with a 1/2 tank of gas.

Oh, that sucks. Well, I can't wait to hear what it has. The timming sounds good, I don't think I would run octain booster though, not unless you are thinking about bumping the timming up some more. It would help you a lot if you got a fuel pressure guage. I thought my car would need about 50lbs of fuel, but I read and saw people getting the most hp with 42-45 so I stayed conservitive with the pressure since I don't know how lean or rich I am. Take it easy man. It should tear up all. Talk to you later man.
