I know. Throughout the night I missed 3rd twice, 4th once, and one time forgot to arm the nitrous.

I definitely need poly bushings and a front engine mount. I am cutting the same 60' times on my BFG's as I was on my Wal-mart tires. If I revved it high, they spun; If I lowered the launch, I wheel hopped like a mother because of the engine and bushing movement.

Not bad duder! Pretty good 60fts for "street" tires. Oh, and that's a pretty high trap speed! When I ran a 13.2 I only trapped at 104. Get iiiiiitttt!

Yeah, my trap speeds are the only reason I was still in a good mood when I left, lol.

Damn straight.

I also figured out another reason why mt ET's might not be as up to par with my trap speed as it should. I am running those tiny *** drag radials. They are about 1 1/2" smaller than my other tires. They're not gonna help my ET's unless I can hook 'em up.

Also thought about another option for my motor build.

I'm thinking about it. I am seriously having a mental conniption right now.

Plan #1: Build the A6 with stock sleeves, bored .020 over for some oversized .020 over Weisco or CP forged pistons. Then just run around with this setup.

Plan #2: Build the A6 with 75 mm vitaras and run the stock bore. The pistons will be a little small, and have anywhere from .004-.008 piston-wall clearance. It will be loud and the clearances are outta spec. However, people do it all the time and it is proven to work. It'll probably last a couple years or 50k.

With either setup, I will be building a sleeved block on the side to accept some oversized forged pistons so I can really boost it up a couple years down the road.

I thought that plan #2 might be the way to go. If the vitara setup works just fine, then why shell out so much more money for just a couple years of fun?

Tippy is confused.

$835: Wiseco pistons, eagle rods, acl bearings, rings, wrist pins, rod bolts
$545: vitara pistons, eagle rods, king bearings, hastings rings, wrist pins, rod bolts, metal hg.

Not to mention the machine work. Bore/Hone vs. me doing a light hone w/ a dingle berry. I guess I should hold off on buying anything till I do some measurements on the block and see what it will need.

Hmmm... O well, I have alot of time to think about it.

I don't realy know what the price break down in on the vitaras but they do come with rings when you buy the from fjt, and I think they're a whole $120. I've been thinking the same thing. I THINK the reason vitaras give such low comp is that they sit low in the bore. I'm thinking that you could mill the block abit and raise comp back up to a healthy 9.x:1

Oh, and make a front motor mount for your bar, get some steel from HD/lowes and drill some holes, mount it up. Did the bar come with new bushings for the radius arms or are you using the older stock ones?

Yes, they sit about 2mm lower than the top of the sleeve or something like that. I like the idea of low comp though. All you have to do to maintain a nice out of boost driving is tune the vacuum portion of the map properly.
