    Swapped to a 4L80E

    Wow came across this late.. No biggie Bob but... When possible can you mind posting some converter numbers like... Foot brake stall vs your old PTC WOT Slippage % Rpm drop on disk lock up Is there a way to calculate trans loss vs the 200? Like it's 3% less efficient etc. There's always talk in...

    Comp Turbo CTRX Turbos, Let's Chat

    Oiless sure does solve the oil return tube problem. Then just water cooling which is pretty straight forward for us from intake to turbo to the water pump.

    Comp Turbo CTRX Turbos, Let's Chat

    Weld on adapters are great if you choose T4 to start, but V band isn't a unified size between brands so it's a mess. Manifold side V band = Garrett Maybe 3" of tubing Turbo side V band = whatever you want This way since Comp uses Tial v band size you swap out this double sided v band adapter...

    Painted Gas Fuel Tank and Straps

    While spending more on painting a $300 gas tank than its worth seems a bit much, here's a look in case you like it. I did the mounting straps too and after looking from the rear I realized the damn spare tire hump is the eye sore now. LOL

    Comp Turbo CTRX Turbos, Let's Chat

    Thanks for the info, I was unaware that pulse control at the ex housing was inferior vs the manifold. Concerning all these new turbos coming and running stock 3 bolt, T3, T4 or V band that are all different depending on brand. I asked my fabricator if a multi turbo flange option was possible...

    Comp Turbo CTRX Turbos, Let's Chat

    I was most curious about the wastegate being on the housing to eliminate the weak point of actuator. The combo of hubless turbo and wastegate on the ex housing would be a killer 2024 combo for this platform.

    Curious... You think HPT would sell their exhaust housing separately? Could be a great combo even if you pay a premium for the housing.

    Coil Overs and Frame Notchers With Big Tires, Jump In, Looks Like We'll Need A Custom Bracket

    Nice, even gets the shock more straight up and down too with its even further back location. Looks like you have a better mounting ear on the 9" vs factory and that has extra LCA location holes. For us stock 8.5" rears the BMR does all that luckily. Though that doesn't have a plated bottom for...

    Coil Overs and Frame Notchers With Big Tires, Jump In, Looks Like We'll Need A Custom Bracket

    Great news so far... BMR bracket CCK007 This bracket will work for us G body frame notches and has 3 LCA options. This fits the Coil Overs where the fat base mounts at the lowest point where the threads usually are. This bracket gives plenty of wheel and tire clearance, it angles the coil over...

    Converting from Powermaster to Vacuum Brake

    The psi out of a power master is huge, when working correctly they're hard to beat in an the categories. You go 4 piston front brakes and you'll feel the difference, you add in the rears and I'm sure that's a nice bump over the drums and vacuum for sure. Not sure of all the details on these...

    Coil Overs and Frame Notchers With Big Tires, Jump In, Looks Like We'll Need A Custom Bracket

    After talking with Afco, they created the bracket to have the shock go that way, eye lid of shaft as the lower mount. Most other coil overs are base with adjustment knobs as the bottom, its thicker. Afco tech didn't think the thicker base would mount in their bracket. I got both brackets, I...

    Coil Overs and Frame Notchers With Big Tires, Jump In, Looks Like We'll Need A Custom Bracket

    I got that TMZ bracket coming but I have a feeling because it flips the shock upside down it might not have clearance for the big shock bottom. I'll report back end of week. There are other brackets out there that might work but there's not many good install pics of them concerning wheel...

    Coil Overs and Frame Notchers With Big Tires, Jump In, Looks Like We'll Need A Custom Bracket

    Well SOB, they sell those little brackets for $35 and I literally just dropped the car off today at the shop, this is like 12 hours late, damn. It looks like the coilover is installed upside down, so what does the top look like? On my current setup the big end with the threaded height...
