  1. The guy at RPM told me that the way mine was built, it would handle beating on it to about 550 wheel. After that I would have needed the better output shaft and gears to go with it. I think he was telling me that the GM 6-speeds come with the better output shaft from the factory, but I don't know about the gears.
  2. I've had a few. Had each ACL done and the left one tore again after 5 months. That was probably my fault for trying to get back on it too soon and not let it heal as well as the first one. I did a lot of physical therapy on the first ACL reconstruction and it is still there. As far as walking, that depends on you. They told me at rehab to put weight on it as soon as I could. Of course, that doesn't mean full weight on it right away. They meant to put as much weight on it as possible while still using crutches. Expect to be awefully stiff after driving any long distance if it's right after you are able to walk. I was cleared to do whatever I wanted after 4.5 months on the first surgery, but I was 21 and worked very hard to get back to normal. I'd suggest getting used to pain and taking rehab seriously. The most pain I notice from it now is where they took the patella graft from. Other than that, the ACL doesn't bother me. It's the multiple scopes and repairs of cartilage that gives me a nice ache once in awhile. If you are like me, you won't be able to sit still even though it doesn't feel too good to move after a couple of days. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Unfortunately I have had 5 knee surgeries and have a little experience with them.
  3. Jesus. I was going to ask about the trap speed, but 108? Hand over the title and the keys now. You could start in 2nd and miss the next two gears and run 120 in that car.
  4. That Cobra belongs to a guy in Zanesville. I saw it getting tuned and it put down over 600 wheel. Definitely driver error on that one.
  5. 13.49 or faster for a vert, so it doesn't have to be too fast.
  6. If I understood correctly, they were going to put that portion of his skull back in when the swelling subsided. The doc said that most people wouldn't have made it through the initial stroke.
  7. Definitely hit hard when they started to play the Johnny Cash song. Kind of fitting that he went out when the storm of the season blew in.
  8. His Cobra didn't have a ported blower.
  9. There are plenty of heads/intake 5.0's running that or better. There is a nice black 86 gt that has been at the track lately with a very modest combo going 11.80's at around 114 or so. It makes somewhere around 290 wheel.
  10. If you get 9 miles to the gallon then it's time for a retune or you are missing 4th-6th gears.
  11. I'll assume it's a sportsman tree for the bracket racing?
  12. Well, I've had the chip in and out of my car more than most and it wasn't working well anymore. Connection wasn't good and I asked Brian what I could do. He got me a new chip that actually fits and works and did it because he felt that was the right thing to do for me. Once again, Brian taking care of a satisfied customer. Thanks again.
  13. Tickets go on sale on Saturday. It's been a long time since I have seen them. I think it was either 98 or 99 and it was at Alrosa. They were with Limp Bizkit and it was a really good show. Lots of jumping around and acting like an ass.
  14. When it breaks just be sure to blame IPS
  15. They also have 10k+ mark ups on GT500s when none of the other local dealers do. I went there to see if they had any '11 GTs and they didn't yet, so they showed me the marked up GT500s and didn't like my response to that. I won't ever be buying from them because of this.
  16. Hopefully my car is still running by then. If so, I'll be in.
  17. I think I'm on my 3rd alternator. Only one autozone in town carries them. I have a lifetime replacement with them, but it's kind of annoying when it goes out that much. It definitely sucks when it seems like everything goes at once.
  18. If only this was a couple years from now. Good luck with the sale.
  19. This sounds like it's been a good time. If my rear end wasn't in pieces, I'd probably check it out. I know Trails has been dead lately.
  20. I refuse to read the other posts, but quit gaying up CR. Worst threads ever. "Guess what I saw" Who gives a shit?
  21. This story is why I work on my own car. What the hell were the guys at the dealer and tire store thinking? If you have a locking lug stuck on, then hammer on the socket and buy another socket and lug. Not overly complicated. So what if it costs extra money, they just send that bill to you.
