This car has more traction issues than you can imagine. Eric, you should stuck around and gone for a ride in my car. I'll show you what 100 more ft/lbs of torque will do to 1st and 2nd gear.....
If you plan on beefing it up, Quafie and bulldog box better be in the future....

Lots of mods done.

No question on the quaife Neil.. But I think the 3.0 would be better than always having to hit the nos and refilling all the time..well most of the time to hit low 14's high 13's. But I do like it just knowing man I got nos..  You don't know how much I wanted to stay, especially now that the guys told me that you took em out in the nos. Eric

I would agree, there can be front wheel drive 12sec cars. takes alot of work. when you do the 3.0 swap with 2.5 heads, let say you get a high 13 or low 14 car. put slicks on and you got a mid 13 car. with the mods I have done I would be surprised if I made it pass mid 13. and really surpirsed if i hit that in florida. you have something down there that is running against you. Humidity and HEAT. got to find ways to cool the intake and the air going in. Then we should be in good shape.

Hey guys. I got a response from Terry. He told me there would be a few issues with the 95 and the OBDI. He said he knows a way to fix it. I guess the answer is going to cost me!!

Yea, try to get it out of him for nothing. Unless of course he will be selling a kit to make it fit. Ask him that. Good to know that it will work though.

Eric Well...as Terry says...grab the tools and dodge the fools. I'm willing to bet that with enough beer drinking men and the right equipment the FLCEG is more than capable of accomplishing this feat (with a lot of Micah's help)!!! Can I get an amen!!!!!! Um....but if anyone knows a trustworthy shop, I'd like the number too!
