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 |

What weight are you at, and where do you need to be, or is there a minimum?

There's a lot more to do to get down to 2850. Post pictures of the car, cage, interior, suspension, etc and we'll advise you where you can get your most bang for your buck. |
