The H-Pipe and flowmaster american thunder is just a cheap, good sounding combo. The tires...im clueless, all i know is i want something that will hook, not cost an arm and a leg, and not hydroplane too bad.

they are not the only headers
MAC true fit LONG TUBES will fit. there is also a set of p specific mac long tubes but you dont have to get them. You will make more are under the curve and will help out yoru auto. BBK long tubes also fit.

dont go small on your stall. I would DEFINITELY not get a stall that wont footbrake into the cams powerband, which is what you are getting if you go undre 3k. i would run something closer to SWT guy.

DEFINITELY get drag radials. all the power is useless if you cant hook. and it is not nearly as fun, trust me. There is nothing like traction to put a smile on your face. for your power level, Nitoo 55%rs will work fine. they are GREAT in teh reain, my llast set lasted me 20K miles. and i have pulle dballs of rubber off my ffender at the track from burnouts. Think or drag radials as a mod. it will do a lot more for your ETs than a measly coldair will.

also, your fuel cut should be at 6250

some 94-95 computers have a 7k fuel cut.

if you haev any more questions on your setup i can answer alot of things about it.

what intake are you running BTW? a performer will benifite you over a GT40 series.

I have had 3-4 sets of nittos.. My car ran 11.80@118 on them, spining.

Yes i would have to say that nittos are the best thing that ever happened to my car. I was actually taking single turbo supras in the 1/8th! Just gotta know how to llaunch and shift and stuff and you'll do great.

Current Plan: To Use

Ger performance Street/Strip AOD with 3K stall
BF Goodrich Tranction KD Drag radials 235/60/15
Shorty headers (new, already purchased, no point in changing and wasting)
Intake "Professional Performance (knockoff) of Edelbrock Performer RPM II.


BTW, the engine is going in the car as well as the cooling system this next week. Soon will follow before cranked are the Mass Air conversion, and the complete exhaust.

Also...Mass air...Will a stock 89-93 computer be okay with my built engine (different cam/compression) ? I Have heard it will, I just want to confirm.

Yes, It will be ok. But if you want it perfect i would reccomend a custom tune.

confirm.

that IS NOT a knock off of the RPM II

its a knock off of the the rpm.... its called the typhoon.

you are going to need a bigger stall with atht intake. Mine doesnt even kick til after 4K.

*confused* Lazy guy taking path of least financial resistance* I think instead of worrying about Stall speeds, I will simply convert to 2.95 T-5. NOt sure, but the price for a stall and a AOD built the way i want is = to this and the clutch...Whadda you people think?

If your gonna go with a 5 speed, i would get something stronger than a T5. I know some people swear they can hold 500 hp but i dont seem to have any luck with them. I have been through a couple and i dont drop the clutch alot, dont run slicks, and dont double clutch.
