I'll have to check into the underdrive pulley for $129..I don't know if I'd want to go cheap on that part since it is connected to the crankshaft.

its not the pulley id be worried about. just be sure to get either an ARP bolt orr a brand new GM crankpulley/damper bolt. you do not re use the old bolt to hold the pulley on. its sfi approved and ron approved

Idk, I can easily tell what gear I'm in when I'm shifting because of the notchiness my trans has. Some people don't like it, but I do because I can easily tell whether or not I'm going all the way into gear. It's not that notchy, but it's noticeable enough that I have never missed the 2-3 shift. I have missed the 1-2 and 3-4 shift due to the ****ing hydraulics though.

lol. Don't they have to be strictly balanced and stuff...I guess that's what sfi approved mean? I just ordered the arp studs for the skinnies. Any1 know what's going on April 5th? Atco says it's the rain date for the NHRA event. So what happens if theres no rain? Test&Tune on Sunday? I'd really like to get the car to the track now.

if i recall correctly, LS1's are internally balanced. and I have had no problems with my UD pulley.

Ron is this the pulley that your running? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GM-CH...Q5fAccessories

get rid of the following: front bumper support, rear bumper support, carpet pading, rear seats and belts, you can trim the fender supports if you wish, ditch the ac and all of that, bmr chromoly k memeber along with upper and lower a arms, slicks and skinnies, windshield washer resivior, the list goes on and on.......

Well the interior is all back together. I just adjusted the clutch peddle to about stock height for now. I think I will adjust it closer to the floor before I go to the track. Anyway, here are some teaser pics:

Old Master cylinder:


Driver Side:


Passenger Side:


I actually really like the the weld draglites on the car. If I make some good money over the summer, I will get the rears too. And since I have to pull the axles to put extended studs in, I might as well up the gears to 3:90's if the 10 bolt is still alive...god $@% money pit!

that pulley looks similar to mine but its black instead of silver. sfi approved is good

[sweetbmxrider]

Now that the car is back to being a DD, I'm not some ambitious about the wieght. Clutch will be here tomorrow. I'll take it to the track at the current weight and see how it does with the new clutch. If it's where I think it'll be, then I'll take some weight out.

Less weight = less stress on the rear

very true, but there's only so much I'm willing to take out before the safety of the driver is reduced.(i.e. bumper support, door supports, fender rails, etc.)
