Any progress?

The 4" exhaust with the magnaflow muffler is on and sounds alot better than the chokemaster. I got the drivers side corbeau seat in but needs some different bolts to get the passenger side seat in. They are some bitches to get the bolts tight and not the easiest to get in and out of so I think some low slung door bars on a cage will work great. I'm hoping to start her diet saturday evening or sunday. Plan is to remove both passenger and driver's air bags. Remove all the carpet and replace with lightweight black carpet (mine is too stained and rugged to keep). Move the heater and airconditioner controls to the glove box, and install the volt meter, nitrous pressure, and water temp, guages where the heater and ac controls once were. (might even try and put them above the radio, since I have the Alpine media player instead). Still need to order my air-fuel gauge. Hopefully the battery relocation box will ship tomorrow, and possibly order the burkhart front bumper support. Then I plan on removing the front sway bar, all the smog junk, and any other useless weight in the front end.

Sounds like you got some work to do. When do you plan on having her ready to roll? Next season? I have an Auto meter A/F gauge if you need one. $20 bucks and it's yours. post pics when you get the seats mounted cherry.

She's going to the track in Hobbs tomorrow. Two weeks ago was the first time I took it down the track and it ran a 13.4 at 104 pulling the front wheels about 6" then bogging. The exhaust was full of sand, and would literally dump that shit all over the track(it had a single 2.5 with a flowmaster, now it is 4" with a magnaflow that is wide open). I plan on trying to keep all of my guages the Cobalt gauges, since the stereo has the blue lights, the dash lights are all blue and it has the checkered overlay. I'll post some pics when I start tearing the interior apart and dropping weight. That and some after she is ready to roll. i was hoping to get the bottle on it tonight but, I'm just now fixing to leave my office, and I have another meeting at 7:00AM in the morning. Still going to try and get the plugs changed and the 10.4mm wires one it tonight though, but we'll see when I get home.

Took it to the track last friday. The quality sucks because it was taken with just a little Kodak M1033. The kid videoing was having trouble figuring out the camera, but I did get lots of footage of the ground. I mainly just wanted to see how the suspension was doing when launching. I think after watching in slow motion, I'm going to mark the wheel and tire because in the second one it looks like the wheel is spinning inside the tire. Also going to get the LCA relocation brackets to see if the rears will push down alittle more. I think the first pass was a 12.8 and the second was a 12.7. This is still no nitrous and the DA was supposedly over 6000. It was full weight still, but I have gotten alittle weight off.

Update

Well when I decided to install the FAST, I got a little carried away. There was some long nights after working late and few silver cans and clear bottles with some mexico name that helped influence but she is back together until I get home again Sunday. While taking the old intake off, little things like the air conditioner lines got in the way so they came out. Well I couldn't half ass it so I pulled it all out, heater/ac, blower motor, condensor, etc. Well since I had to take the dash out, I figured might as well take care of the air bag and such along with all the ducting and heater and air conditioner controls. While taking that out, how much more is it to take the carpet it out and clean it? ALot, but it no longer has padding and after $5 at the car wash it is fairly clean. Then the fuel pump went in and painted all the interior flat black, came out pretty good I think. Well back to the front. Again little things were getting in the way and started coming off. So she no longer has the front sway bar or brackets holding it to the frame, or the center part of the front bumper support. The washer fluid resivor is gone and now that I have found an alternative to the huge block for the ABS, it's coming out. Heard that is another 13-16lbs. No need for cruise control, so it will be leaving as well. The battery is in the trunk now as well. After getting it back together, I noticed how much room there was and begin to think how much easier it will be to change heads, so I picked up a set of 799's that will be going on it Sunday night or Monday night. Also went to a 25% underdrive pulley. Heres a few pictures of how nasty it was. I figure it lost between 100 and 150lbs.

Looks like you are going the right direction with the weight reduction! +hp.

looks good

Ordered the SJM ABS delete kit and Line lock with shifter mounted switch today. Also hoping a deal does not fall through on a FTP 104mm lid and TSP 100 mm MAF. I am going to try and get some pics of the inside when I get back home hopefully friday. Got the interior back in it, guages mounted where the vents used to be, A pillar guage guages and tach. A buddy of mine is building a heater/ac control panel block off plate that has the bottle heater, nitrous, and purge switches. Got a set of prostars for the rear to run around on some ET streets for the street so I don't wear the slicks out as fast. SO the TT2's are for sale.

Put her on the dyno again to get tuned for the bigger intake and 42lbs injectors. She made 430rwhp and 391 rwtq on motor on the stock heads throught the 9". and 556rwhp and 580rwtq on the 150 shot of giggle juice. The only changes si9nce the last time when she made 375rwhp and 350rwtq are the FAST 92 combo, a 25% underdrive pulley, lost the ac, added 42lb injectors, and added the 9". Not too bad I don't think for a cam only 98 car.

 

[Trey]

Those numbers arent too bad at all.

 

[John 01WS6]

Took it to 11.2 at 123 cam only on a 150 shot. Think it would have went 10's with a taller tire and more seat time, but a guy put the money out and the car has been sold. I still have the tt2's for sale as well as a set of 2006 243's with 21,000 miles.
