Actually, you are only as good as your weakest link/part.

Rodger, don't have any recent ones with the new wheels, stance, etc--- Procharger still uses the car in their catalog--saw it at SEMA--here are the pics they use--I am due to begin working on the car again soon---trying to fund two cars is getting the best of me.

In fact, it's the same type 2 pump Steve broke at the Optima Challenge. I know his was a turn one already that had seen better days. Not all stock parts are engineered to be pushed to the level some of us are looking for either. I've already made the bed I lay in and you won't see me running the one lap of america.

So true---it is tempting to go LS motor in this car for this and many other reasons---I bet in two years I can talk you into one lap ---you will have done everything else by then--LOL.

Thanks brother---it better---still has drums in the rear---Rick at Baer says that my stock master will work fine with these due to the fact that the piston size in the calipers is comparibly small (to the Extreme calipers for example) --volume wise it should work fine----I hope that is in fact the case.
