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 |

Ratio is more important then just having a dog box. A good, ultra close ratio synchro box will be faster then a factory ratio dog box.
The UE torque arm will also pay off in time shaved once you set it up to your liking. Lowering the PHB (rear roll center) is another great mod on these cars. |
