Slowed it down and watched it a couple more times, and I think you are right. Looks like there is another mark over there

What do you mean dropping the clutch ...thats a power brake,if you go to the other link where the pics are its in there somewhere,

Yes it did burn 2 tires,no its not posi,It does look liek the only the left tire burn but think abotu it,what tires has the torque?Its suppose to be the right..

Im bridgeporting the secondaries,and large street on the primaries,I got to port match my exhast and intake to the housings,then once its broken in I need to rejet,on a dyno,

Yes I do need to change the oil cooler,I wanted to just use this car at the drag strip and on short runs the air cooled cooler is not muxch better than the water cooled,

Im debating on what color to paint it,I have been talking about painting it like a Chevy orange for about 2 yrs now,and I need to decided asap cause the engine bay will be painted when the engine is out,then the engine will be paint to match..

I need to know how hard to add a TII tranny to my car,cause i can get one for $200. right now.I heard I had to change the tail shaft or some ****.I still need a GSLSE rear end,

Whas the flywheel/clutch size on a 84 n/a tranny and S4 TII tranny? I will keep updates posted..

Cool, sounds like a good project. The clutch drop question is still valid, unless your slipping hte hell outta it when you start powerbraking it. When I do that I just rev it and pop the clutch and mash the gas. Anyway, what muffler you got on there? Sounds pretty sweet.

On the power brake,I got the left foot on the clutch,Right foot toe on the brake,right foot heel on the gas,

Push down on the brakes,
Keep the clutch in,

Pump the gass with your heal,Let off clutch around 4k (?)

Give it more gas,put left foot on brake and slide the right foot all the way to the gas,

Then when your ready ...let off the brakes

My exhast set up is RacingBeat road race header,
"Y" off to about 15-18inches,To 2 1/2 in exhast to a
' twister muffler" non fiberglass metal muffler to back to the 2 1/2 in exhast to a DTM tip Mozart myuffler I picked up about 3 yrs ago for $50. Konig makes Mozart

http://www.flopro.com/Twister.htm

I get magnaflow for a decent price,almost wholesale cost and cheaper than anyother place sold online.

www.magnaflow.com

I have been thinking of going with a 1 can set up...I will see after my port work how my exhast reacts cause im race porting the exhast.
