pick up some Eibach sportlines off criagslist, they should be a bit better than the cut stock springs

also found a set of SP performance diamond slotted rotors, not a big fan of the slots but they were cheap. might try a set of Hawk Performance HPS brake pads


there alittle rusty from sitting in a barn for a few years

found out last year before I parked it my fuel pump was putting out 8psi and over powering the needle and seat in the carb, I've slowly been working on putting in a dead head regulator. I might have got a little carried away with AN fittings and braided line...LOL

HVAC delete in Canada... that's pretty hardcore. Yup yup

Was the FPR mounted on the fender for any reason? Seems like you could build a bracket off the alt mount or something and run less fuel line sort of like so....

I got Eibacks on the front of the Berlinetta and it still sits too high in my opinion. But I only have about 2" of ground clearance with my current exhaust setup so I'm not going any lower with it.

That's quite an accomplishment for a streetable smallblock car. Thumbs up

If your old 4160 had plate secondaries I would imagine you would notice a whole world of new power. Cool

Now you guys make fun of me for having mud flaps on my car... but look! I'm not the only person!

I'm just way ahead of my time. You'll all be doing it soon enough.

Base birds and formulas mud flaps are almost required. I tried to go without after painting it the first time.. hello rockchips. If I had gfx they'd serve the same function.

IROCs make everything look good, it is a fact. Good choice on wheels. Wink

Since I don't daily drive this car anymore, I figured I'd get rid of the crappy 2 1/2" single exhaust.

here's the old exhaust




The new set-up is literally a hack job I cut up the old exhaust to make this, all I had to buy was two 18" long 2 1/2" straight pieces and mufflers, I am gonna add a crossover pipe eventually





I went with moroso spiral flow mufflers, there a little loud but they sound good



I have alot more tuning to do but it seems to pull alot harder from 3000-6000RPM
