Next mods coming up - need ur $.02

08-08-2001, 05:00 PM

I'm planning on my next round of mods in the very near future. I've been thinking of the master plan (blower or n2o) and figure it's about 2 rounds away

. For "this" upcoming mod-fest, should I:
1)do full MAC exhaust headers back? 1 5/8" or 1 3/4" in longtubes or short.......2 1/2" or 3" exhaust????
;or
2)upper and lower rear control arms, 1.6 rr's, and new BFG D/R's for the rear????

Your ideas/input/opinions would be very helpful in making up my fragile little mind

Thanks guys (and gals)!

It doesn't sound like your exhaust is in bad shape. I'd go control arms, RR's, and D/R's. The roller rockers are going to work great with your cam. The control arms and D/R's will help out with getting traction once you put a power adder on(blower or NOS)! Were you running slicks when you ran that 1.78 60'?

Thanks KC. I've never ran on slicks.....the 60' time was on my BFG D/R's. I've always been afraid to throw on slicks...that I'll snap my rear or something bad like that. Anybody else have $.02?
