I did actually....
My suspension is in mint condition upoun inspection. I found that my catback was hanging off one of the hangers (prob from when I made some adjustments). I reattached the hanger, and had no issues since.
It must have been bumping off the bottom of the car when I went over large dips. It was driving me nuts, because the sound was so random. I figured if it was an actual suspension issue I would hear it all the time.

Everyone says the valves aren't worth it... and i think that's probably true on your average head... But if you go crazy and port yours like 100%Meth's head... i think you could see some flow benefits then.
1mm is a lot on a valve as small as ours.

Ok i just read all 22 pages of this and iv got a question if i get a tvs whats the lowest pulley i could run with no e85 or meth? I would have dual pass, zzp stg 3 fmhe, phelonic spacer for cooling would i be able to make 300 hp with that and all the other bolt ons, if i can avoid meth and still make 300 to 310 then thats what id like to do

Full bolt ons and octane will net you 300whp on a stock tvs pulley. Just don't be a weenie with the tune... Doesn't have to be crazy, a simple ramp of 15* to 24.5 will get you there
Shoot for 11.6 afr, not that your egts will be that high anyway.
What's nice about using less boost and utilizing the timing map to its full potential is it gives you more range of manipulation over the torque curve. You'll have a much flatter curve on a stock pulley vs a 2.6 per say.
What we should be doing is utilizing the upper range of our stock valve train. Our stock cams call it quits on a stock head @ 6800 rpm. Put cams in and rev it to 7500... make the power all the way up. If you decide to take it higher, supertechs or zzp valve springs, ati balancer, port it, and a NB delete or neutral Bal. shafts; take it to 8 or higher, depending on your fueling limitations.
The stock pulley @ 18-19 psi won't be making much for torque. In the end we really can't put any of it down anyway ranging from 250-270+ ft lbs (depending on your dyno). You won't have the 300 ft lbs of torque achievable on a 2.6-2.5 pulley, but you'll make up for it on the top end.
Unless you like spinning tire in 2nd-3rd gear... go ahead.. pulley it down and be aggressive in the midrange...

Interceptor time - 13.5 @ 111mph
Track time slip - 14.3 @ 105mph (best track time was 14.2@105)
Best 60ft was a 2.4 ... ''
And now I need a new clutch
the track is off I think.. LOL
0 track prep, and everyone is a lot slower than they should have been, the only people getting 2.2 60s or less were the AWD guys.
I saw a 1.9 60 ft from a mustang on slicks, he still ran like a 14.7 though.

Yeah I am on stock clutch
It's the track I was on, it's probably the shittiest stretch of 1/4 mile in existence. LOL
Not a single person had good times, except for those straight up drag cars doing low 9s, probably would be 8s if they were on a better track.
I'll be picking up a ky stg3 clutch
