Well I drove the Cosmo POS today.
Guys I dont think I like this car anymore. It kinda scared me LOL
I forgot I had the boost turned up a little and I hit about 8 psi, I left black marks about 20 feet long, and got sideways in second... Well I think it was 8, I was busy trying to hold onto my ***...
Well heres the pics

Personally, I'm kinda disappointed with my bridgeports speed, I can't get below 6.5seconds to 60 yet. I thought it should get better since I opened the exhuast a little more since last time apart.
I'm trying some new jet combo's but 245main fuels with 200air correctors seem to be best. I am not sure what the best is yet since I only have several sizes and more cost ~6bucks per jet+shipping! ARGG!! Hey, it DOES add up RRREALLY quick!
I guess this isn't a issue with Halteching, but hey, I am not THAT rich.

I read your email
Congrats! But I have one question..... it looks like you've done an awesome job... why do you insist on calling it a POS? What does POS stand for? Possiply Over Sized?

OR is it really loose and only gives one-wheel wonders? Mine clunks, but did the day I bought it. Hasn't gotton any worse, but still lays 2-long-rubber patches when called on. ONe time I did a burn out/donut and the rearend clutch broke loose and one tire got really fast and the other one stopped spinning as fast. But it hasn't done that since. I think its just old, but ok yet.

MIne orginally started life as a GS, no power windows, power locks, no sunroof, only option it had was power mirrors. So I kinda made it a GSL, except for this,. I NEED ONE bad Im gonna check out Tom's Auto Parts tommorow, and see if he can get me one, complete.

Why not go with a ford 9" rear end?

I can get a LSD for about $100-150 and drop it in, mates up with my driveshaft and all

Glad to here it moves. Have to get my lettle ford powered turd running here soon and meet you at Windy before they close. See who can smoke the 13" the most
I will check the yards here in Eville this weekend for you. I bet one of them is bound to have a gsl.

Awesome, I'm kinda doing the same thing that you did, which is taking my GS and turning it into a hybrid GS/GSL, possibly with an SE rear end and front and rear brakes. Keep up the good work!
