The Red302 lives!!!!!!

Finished it up this weekend. Switched from the JBA shortys to the BBK longtubes, and put in the King Cobra clutch and FMS flywheel set-up. Since the car was in the garage waiting for the snow to melt anyway, I took my time with the project. Cleaned stuff up real good and got rid of some leftover emissions related clutter in the engine compartment too. The headers fit really well, but the short off-road H-pipe was a real pain it the @ss! Had to bend the tubes apart about 3 inches, and cut and re-weld one of the hangers to get it to line up. Took it for a ride today and it really doesn't sound much different than it did with the JBA's, but I'm hopeing to pick up a little on the top end. The clutch is great. Pedal pressure is just a little stiffer than stock, but it's smooth and grabs much better. Now we'll see what happens when the track opens. All I can say is...two tenths baby, just give me two little tenths!!!!
