Bigger ticket fund, I may have to work on that...lol
Does the Racing Beat header work with Superchargers?Quote:

This brings up a pretty good point for me (for future reference). I can safely assume that the Jackson Racing header works with a JR M45 (or MP62) blower? I'm close to the point were I'm going to start gathering parts for a blower install, and I'd like to add a header to the mix before I throw the blower on top.Quote:

You are on the right track. Pretty much all of the 4-2-1 headers including the Jackson Racing header and the OLD Racing Beat like I have work with the superchargers. The current 4-1 Racing Beat and the EBay copy of it do not fit with the hotside superchargers (M45 and MP62). RB switched to the 4-1 design 5 years ago.Quote:

Wish me luck.
Good Luck!!!
OK, going to get the car Saturday, will have some #'s then.
TDR says the car is running STRONG, can't wait.
It better be, considering the money you have in the engine rebuild!Quote:

ok here are the #'s but they will go up when the new pulley is added this week.
200 hp 179 Torque
Got the new pulley on, even though it hasn't ben dyno'd with it.
Gary says it feels like around 215hp.
I like the feel of Gary's grey car so I am going to be upgrading my suspension soon to the Racing Beat sways and front brace.
Also thinking of getting the FM butterfly brace, anyone have this? and is it worth the $?
Did Gary get your car running smoothly? Definitely upgrade to the RB brace and bar.Quote:

yep, it's running great now...I knew it was just some little thing to do with the power card.
cool I didnt know he had one on the Beast.
I'm going to pick it up in a little bit and bring her home.
Gary said " your gonna get in trouble in this car"...LOL
Got the car home, all I can say is WOW!
This is what i have been waiting for.
Now I just need better handling, will probably be selling some FM sways soon;)
I'd be surprised if you noticed much of a difference between your FM sways and the RB sways.

There is a BIG difference in the handling from the FM sways verses the RB hollow bar sways. Take the FM off, add the RB and drive. The FM are good and much better then stock, but the RB stiffer bar will improve the handling even more.
Most people buy a product once and don't try other brands later, but every car we pulled the FM sways off loved the improved handling of the RB. Street or track, I would still use the RB sway bars.
As for Billy, we have created a Monster. He has a clean ticket record now, want to take bets how long it will be before he gets one?
Gary
Less than 2 weeks.Quote:

You might be right........he already has the knack of getting to places early.Quote:

Also I need to find out what is causeing a loose feeling in my tranny linkage.
Once I feel confident in pushing the car again the tickets may come ;)
I am curious how much torque it is putting out now, cause it feels like a lot.
