Dyno numbers with these cars are misleading it may dyno low and still haul a$$ just so you know

Might want to put in a "RJC" catback three inch exahust,304 stainless steel, including the muffler....it's a single three inch from the cat until you get to the stainless muffler behind the axle, then it goes out in two.....or try Mark H.s dual stainless exhaust if you like two mufflers....he makes a great set and you can't go wrong with either.....personal preference figures here.

Hey, that's a beautiful "T" you snagged there.....good job....really looks brand new.....so new for being that old....congratulations.:wink:

It has an old hooker catback on it now. Its in decent shape so i'm satisfied with that for the time being. I would like a single 3" stainless system down the road though.

Just curious given your name, is it an 84 with the intercooled set up on it?

No its an 86. Several years ago I was looking into an 84 and joined the site then but that deal fell through.

Got a bunch of parts in. I am in the process of installing them. I got a hotwire kit, pump, Cold air intake, lock right locker, scanmaster, guages, tach, turbo tweak chip, lt1 maf and translater, adjustable wastegate, driveshaft loop, along with the spring cleaning I did earlier. During the cold air install I pulled the up pipe and it had some oil residue so I got to looking around and the vacuum lines for the wastgate also had oil. So thus the seal is failing. Instead of rebuilding I found a ta49 in the classifieds that I purchased......hope this does it for a while. The wallet needs time to recover. But overall I'm lovin my new toy

On a side note I might be getting a complete rebuilt 4.1 shortblock with some partially ported heads with SS valves for the perfect price. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet but can't let it slip by.

Very nice looking car! I'm partial to white T-types myself...
We carry a Tach mount bracket if your interested..

I mounted the tach on the column. It covers the stock tach and boost guage and is easily read. I put your 3 guage pod I recieved the other day on it though and am very impressed with it. I will have to post a pic when I get a chance.
