I HAVE 275/60 mt dragradials on my T-TYPE and they fill the wheelwell real nice on 15/8/4.5 wheels. No frame notch, no rub, but I did cut flange back.

Speedway motors sells a nice bolt in kit using metric calipers for an awsome price . You may want to check them out, they sell lots of roundyround parts but they work great for street cars.

So now all the guys who have Wilwood 4 piston setup or those of you using Aerospace setups are all wrong ? I don't think it will hold water, just my two cents worth.

us calipers The larger piston is good for 20% more pressure and that is more clamping force at the pads. If you run these with a good performance pad you will notice an improvement over the stock setup. Add a nice performance rotor and get even better results.

brakes You may want to upgrade the lines to stainless as long as your in there. Gives you a much brtter feel at the pedal. Gust my two cents worth.:rolleyes:

Money in the bank Why retire when you can stay one more season and clean up on all the endorsement money.After a super bowl win,fill the retirement fund.

Sorry for your loss. I lost two in a six year period, gone but never forgotten. Their is not a day that goes buy that I don't think about them. If I'm lucky will get to see them again. Keep the faith your life is better because you shared it with your friend.

I have not been yet myself but work with someone who has. He said it is a must do for all of us buick g body guys. Tons of vendors and large swap meet. Bring money and shooping list. Have put it on my list of must do for 2008,comming down from wisconsin.;)

Just thought I would mention that h.p. and t.q. numbers are off of the engine dyno, no guess work here just facts. Thanks again for the input, an old guy who has not been down the track for quite some time.

Thanks for the input. I have thought about a gear vendors overdrive for next winters project. I have a couple of friends that are street rodders with high h.p. motors running this setup now and they all love it. THANKS

The motor was built to be a street/strip setup with most of its time spent on the street. The wife and I love going to midwest events with the car. This is why a pump gas freindly motor with less than 600 h.p. . All old school, flat tappet, aluminum heads 64 c.c. 200 port,2.05/1.60 valves roller...

Will try to get pictures up over the holidays. Will need my son's help, not that computer savy at this point. Happy Holidays to all.

Thanks for the welcome . No turbos yet, old school n.a. flat tappet,pump gas street car. Made 500 plus at crank on dyno,500 plus ft. lb. on 93 octane. If this thing hooks, just might be fun. All it does now is fry tires.:)
