The drop is so small I was asking what was the point...

Hopefully I will see what is what when I put it on the scale and start making the adjustment with the coilovers...

Edit: I just realized...this are the wrong pics, I have deleted them after copying anywayz it was about an 1" drop...nothing spectacular...

Holy shitakes 3" pwnz. Very nice it looks like a big snake so smooth.

Does your car flex at all? if you can lift it by the sway bar?

Can you even fish a piece of paper over that exhaust?

Looking very good.

Nice update. Let us know what happens with the exhaust, or when you hit a bump and it kisses the rear bar! eeek! Might have to change the angle (is there room for that?) to more of a U.. or crush/flatten it a little. Either would be better than 2.5" section there..

The exhaust on a large tank car goes farther to the left. Almost the the edge of the car and then comes back over a 90 degree turn to make it over the axle. It is all over there closer to the brake and fuel lines.

The exhaust pipe has about 2" of clearance...~1" on top & ~1" at the bottom...this is after adjusting the height of the car...this can change some, if I lift the car and move the exhaust another 1" upwards....

hard to see, but tank is not an issue...plus 350lb/in springs (car does not want to flex at all), I would have to hit one of those calabama bumps to touch the pipe...it doesn't matter as of yet anywayz till I corner weigh...
thanks a lot fellas...stop scuring me

nocutt ...playing with the PCM suite, did a lot of minor tweaks here and there...I have to do major ones when I start driving to see hard results...

I just made IsaacHayes happy

...injectors disabled// high RPM cut-off ...

...and speed limiter removed...no more brick wall @ 108mph...

I'll be happy when you send me your car for x-mas! heheh Can you make that one come true too?

That "brick wall" does suck. Funny thing is the first time I was running on 5 cyl and it didn't kick in.... go figure.

^^^ lol, me first
quick question? why take timing from low rpm? don't you take power out doing that or it this just a traction mod?

IsaacHayes · Post by **IsaacHayes** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 3:43 am

Conscious, yes for traction. A 3800 is hard to hook up, let alone one with a turbo on it!!

Less timing on the low side should also make more exhaust heat, which will spool his turbo faster.
