Best part is that POS Taurus is still around sitting in lump in her garage. It died recently and her theory is that its the battery.

time for a rebuild with better materials and bump up line pressures.

That's what I'm thinking too after reading up on it. Just dreading the cost. :(

I doubt I'll be able to make it either. :(

your Camaro will definitely hit mid to low 10's, you need a nice stall and gears

yeah man, if you know how to work the torque curve... it will really throw you back in the seat..... they're bullet proof engines too, mine runs in the low 15's.... kinda thinking about putting on some exhaust, maybe break into the 14s

You can take your car to car shows and pull the Whipple out of the trunk and set it up under your hood.

yeah, i'll just make sure i get there super early to set everything up.

Sweet!! I wouldn't even attempt to drift because with my luck I'd slam my car into something.

it shouldn't be all that bad actually. depending on what work you do yourself..if you pull the trans yourself..that cuts a HUGE chunk of the cost out.

A stall would be good for 3-5 tenths.

i'm actually quite good at it..girl in the passenger seat was drinking a water..didn't spill a drop..so i'd like to say i'm smooth at it.

I wish I could do that stuff myself, but I neither have the tools nor the confidence in myself to attempt ripping a transmission out.

I'm trying think who built super chargers for the L36 after market a couple years ago. They had a good reputation and the boost PSI was small, something like 7 PSI if I recall correctly....
