Nice car. I'll take it if the bitches come with it.

Some do,some don't. Personally ,I believe it depends on the driver and how he respects or abuses the trans regardless of clutch or not. Some of us break anvils with rubber hammers.

I never use a clutch with my FRS5 Fortin. Never. Of course I have a converter though. LOL! Shifting without using the clutch is no different than riding a motorcycle. Most good offroad riders do clutchless shifting. Done right , clutchless shifting is actually easier on the trans. Or so I have...

Don't be tempted to use the Bars Leak alternative . It does not work. You can still find the AlumaSeal powder though and mix it with sodium silicate(water glass) and that makes an awesome home brew AlumaSeal replacement. I mix it 50/50 with plain old antifreeze when I use it.Keeps the...

Alternators ,in general,have about an 18000rpm redline. Adjust your pullley ratios to keep it safely under 18k,MAX. I run 4-7k almost constantly for hours without issue after I got alternator education and my ratios right. Your charging may suffer at low engine rpms but that is how it is if you...

Nitrogen ,which is a larger molecule will not nearly as easily leak out .I have a set of large drag slicks that have been sitting with the dragsters weight on them ever since I hung up drag racing. In 20+ years I have only added a small amount of Nitrogen one time. I need to do it again...

Alumaseal is no longer available. I LOVED that stuff.Last year I mounted new fronts and rears ,beadlocks and used Camel bead sealer. I had it sitting around for at least 15 years,was still good. Tires have not lost even a pound in over a year now. Link to product. I assume it is still...

What's the current opinions of Redline Heavy Shockproof?

Spot on!

I could not agree more KLC. You are spot on. The aftermarket is filled with poorly designed parts with near zero actual QC other than aesthetics and it will not likely change. Why is that? I feel it is because there is less money made on well designed products and true QC. No endless...

A lot easier than that . All it takes is this https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-59-59-ft-lb-digital-torque-adapter-58705.html?_br_psugg_q=torque+adapter .

Reality check on this bolt torque subject. The correct answer is the correct torque is the torque that gives the fastener the correct stretch for the alloy and heat treat the bolt is made to. This is not rocket science. The torque is dependent on whether dry /lightly oiled/something like ARP...

The r/p is still $4k. The other parts add up quickly though. I'm way north of $$,$$$.$$:cry::unsure:

Pretty much as I was thinking. Thanks guys.

Anyone have any actual info on how much rollout is lost with paddles in the sand? Stated a bit differently,how much difference would there be between an indicated wheel speed as compared to actual ground speed in top gear just cruising. Dry,soft sand. Is it negligible/10%/more?

McM called today and I do have a 3.88 r/p now. Current gearstack: 1st-3.09 lowest available 2nd-2.06 also lowest available 3rd-1.62 4th-1.36 5th-1.25 Since I can go no lower with 1st/2nd I feel I can do not much better with the 3/4/5. Benefit not worth the cost. I will though get the 4.37 r/p...

I know mcmullen knows his stuff . No question. Im just really wanting to see how far off i am from his suggestion. Yes,longevity is above perf on this.
