I did alot more sliding I think, but since ive yet to see a video of any of my own runs I cant get confirmation, though I spent all of first gear spinning until the first corner on all but my first run.

Well, I was working during both of your runs... I didn't see much sliding at all on your part, just a lot of body roll. You're outgripping your suspension. Jeremy was sliding quite a bit but I could tell he was being really conservative with the throttle through the tighter turns. I and those working the station with me thought his motor was cutting out, but it was just him lifting off the gas when cornering. I can't wait to do this again next month!

well coy the easier solution is to lighten your car, PS and AC and that sunroof weigh you down alot more thatn you think, and the AC condensor blocks ALOT of airflow to the radiator. Plus you still have what appears to be mostly stock exhaust minus the hideous cans out back....so much power to gain from just losing power restrictors.

As for the sillycone try looking at a jegs or summit catalog.

Assuming we're talking vacuum tubing/hosing, I've heard good reviews for http://www.hosetechniques.com/ .

Don't worry about it. Our cars, including the TII's, were not made to go fast in a straight line. They were made to out corner everything else on the market. Take it as such.

There's an 83 for sale in Maryville. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/car/678330130.html

It doesn't look like a bad price for what's in it. You could probably part it out for more.
