Thats shitty, who coated them?

You can kinda see that recessed area for the copper washer on my fronts. Does anyone has a safe way to remove a small area of powder that will minimally damage the sealing surface?

My junkyard calipers look good, took the boot back some just to look, pistons and cylinders look clean. I plan on just using some red caliper paint to get me by for now. On a different note, does anyone run a 9.5 in converter with a mr gasket 4l60e deep pan? it is the 3 3/4 deep I believe. I wanted an idea on fluid capacity. I got three gallons so I should be good right?

Had it at Milan today. Best 12.3493 @ 110.80 MPH. 60 foot was eh 1.7279, which is worse then I thought with the Yank and MTs. Track prep usually sucks on the highschool/college race people.

Was that without nitrous?

Yep, all motor. They only allow you to run 12.00 or slower for college.

Did you tell them you are a grown man?

Haha, their brackets suck anyways. Bracket one was 12.00-14.99. Bracket two 14.99 and slower.

Did the car dead hook? 1.72 isn't bad but I'm sure it has more in it.

It did not feel like it "snapped" or however you want to say it out of the hole. I was running those ET streets at 20 psi, not sure if that was why. They just don't do good track prep on the high school/college days, which sucks because I paid the same amount to race as I would a test and tune. I managed a few 1.78 1.77 60 foots with a 12 inch 2200 stall and the nitto DRs, so I was hoping for atleast a 1.6x with the new setup.

What is a good pressure to run those ET Streets at? I think I need more gear too, I was just barely turning 5000 rpm through the traps. I am thinking a 3.90 ratio. The calculator online said with a 26" tire, 3.42 rear gears, and the 1:1 third gear ratio my car should be about 4900 rpm, with a 3.90 it should be about 5550 rpm. I think for the money it may be worth a shot. I have been wanting to replace my pinion seal anyways.

For your car I would start around 22PSI. Lower as needed. The more air pressure you can run the better.

3.90 is a great ratio IMO. I was really wanting to try one in my LS1 car.

That much for the bias ply?

no with a bias ply you will want way less pressure.. i would start around 12lbs i think.. not sure what most people run in those tho.
