Guys,
1. Does anyone have any comments about swaping out the stock Kmember for the tubular Spohn version? I'm working on losing weight in the 3rd gen SPO car and wondered if anyone will acknoldge it is stong enough for road racing abuse.
2. Has anyone swaped over to the Rack and pinion sterring (Pinto) for weigh reduction?

3. What are the best headers for 3 gen vs. tranny combo for clutch fork clearence issues.
Currently use T56,LT1 version with Heddman standard not shortys.

Just need some quick easy responses on these topics.

Thanks

Great info.
SPO, stands for Special Production Over 3 lieters. Anything goes.
No kmember or rack steering. Thanks you for that info

Love the idea of cutting out weight in the factory kmember and AArms.

Jumping topics here.

1. How can I run 1-3/4" headers? Is there any options for this size and not hit the slave cylinder? Can't tell what the 87" Orange Iroc uses.

2. I have the option to switch from a T56 LT1 to a Jerico. Unbalanced engineering has the torque arm set up.

Any thoughts on these topics??

Thanks again for the time (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You previously asked this:

I use Heddman 1 3/4" full headers with standard 3" collectors. They miss the slave cylinder (although I wrap the aluminum version I use in heat wrap) and have never had any issues there. I use a steel Hayes beelhousing that has both T5 and T10 mounting holes in it. I have used both trans in the car with these headers with no interference, currently using a TEX T101A, no issues.
The front suspension causes some creative grinding of A arms though...
