Yep. Stock motor valve cover to oil pan.

 

Having it in the bay just makes for easy adjustment. I have it right on the end of the rail. Plus it looks pretty

 

Jon ain't no bitch!

 

Lol it's funny because at first, I was the hesitant one. Then once we were on the rollers I was eggin him on!

 

I can see you when his car was on the dyno...

 

Lol that's about how it went once we hit the 490's.
500 was gonna happen one way or another!

 

Haha damn right! I was happy when it put down around 480 then Alan was like "give it another turn" haha I wanted the stock motor record!

 

"In LSJ We Trust"

 

you really speak in absolutes huh lol

 

Only if it projects his intended opinion. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's one of the keys to achieving persuasion in a debate.
He's very good at that. I think he missed his calling to be a lawyer

 

Lmao and Juan was just running around hooting and hollering like a 3 yr old at chuck-e-cheese

 

i bought the boost reference. tim was suppose to email the instructions for install but i havent got them yet. but my question is this. you guys have the factory return. i only have 1 line up to my rail. so should i switch to the lsj rail or keep my stock and run the boost reference from the back?

 

no just from experience

its not really an opinion tires only work as well as the chassis allows them to

 

We only have one line running to our rail also.

 

So what do you suggest for getting a 600hp street car to hook as good as it can Jon?

 

My setup will be: Pedders coilovers on le stiff, ZZP control arms, and my 17x9" wheels with probably some 235/40 NT05's, but I am leaning more and more towards running a radial all the time up front. Haven't ordered tires yet. Anything to add, feel free.

 

Alloy arms (lucky cobalts)
leading and trailing cabs
footballs if you're cheap, bags if you're not
strap the front
Then add the tire of your choice.

 

I'm just talking street. Of course I have footballs for the track, and slicks. And of course for those big callouts on the street

 

im only alloy control arms and rear bushings. i never thought i would get off the s/c and stock clutch. i never rarely launched it so i never invested in the fronts. its on my list now along with powell trans mounts. i have poly trans mounts now and the car shakes pretty good with the stage 2 cams

 

car shakes pretty good on stock everything lol

 

then you havent seen my car... stage 2 cams on a 750rpm idle. my parents are like,"why does your car shake when it idles and it sounds like it has a miss?"

 

I havent seen ur car because noone posts stg2 cam videos!!

 

Im running mine from the back.

 

 

you need to run spherical cabs get rid of arm windup
you don't want to tie the front end down it dose need to be able to move so you can control the car you want to control the weight transfer and chassis movement from the rear the rear it also needs to be free but limited in moving also

get the car on a drive on rack and look at the a-arms you want to set them slightly in an upwards direction
raise the back up a little and add bags you can also do a custom rate rear spring along with bags

the idea is when you launch the car the arms come as close to or just past level and stay there(the whole time your on the gas)now you have the pressure of the bags forcing the weight back forward trying to shove the front back down putting weight on the front tires and you have the car trying to shove the ass down adding weight to the front also

if you don't want to go off of the a-arms you can use the body set it up to where the car sets down in the front and goes to level on launch or just a bit nose down still

you don't want the car to just slam the on bags you want to control how fast it transitions by slamming on the bags you can unload the front creating wheel spin
