Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
Well i know jon is going to enjoy hearing this.Ben was saying my headers kinda suck and are holding me back alittle.With the mods done this is all i will see unless i do High compression, swap my headers and install a much bigger cam.
Well i guess there is always a turbo;) 300WHP sounds better everytime i say it.lol

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
What part of the header design does Ben not like? Non equal length? or the primary size?

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
Finished polishing my black fillers.And they are looking much better now.Installed the Z51 bar a few weeks ago and really enjoying it.Next is tint for the tails,and have my roof repainted in a few weeks im hoping.Also having the rocker fixed while it's there=) Almost forgot the 28lb injectors still need to be installed soon.

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
Well last wednesday night i finally made it to the strip.I made 3 runs the second was the best.14.169@98.92 with a 2.138 60 foot.I should have the tail lights tinted soon.And i picked up a GTU spoiler with a perfect brake light.This fall the roof and trunk are getting painted.Then a surprise for this spring=) Also installed the 28lb injectors this week.I do have a little vibrating going on also from a badly rounded tire.So im hoping this hurt my times alittle.Hoping to hit a 13.9 with slicks soon=)

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
I had the new tires mounted and balanced this saturday.
The car hooks great on the street.So i can only imagine it would be awesome at the strip.I may make a few passes this wednesday at my local strip.Or hold off and see if there will be racing this weekend at jons house.Either way the car rides like new again=)

Re: Roberts 89GT Engine build.
I appreciate the compliment. I do have to say though if you would ever take the time and attend one of the Bfest's you might have a different respect for a lot of the people on the forum.speedy wrote:you mount that spoiler yet? lol.

Once you meet someone in person its quite different.
I'll get a vid of it this weekend, No idea on whats going down with racing this weekend... With any track 2hrs away it turns the whole day into racing... Starting at 8am if we got there then, I don't know how many runs we would get before the end of the day. I know it would be more than Lebanon but its still 4hrs of driving in one day.
