No he wasn't. He broke one on the street. I'm referring to TonyHTX, not the Tony from FI.

I have the filter routing already planned. As far as charge piping I have 2 different routes I can use.
1 way is a pain I the *** to get on the left turbo.
The other way is going under the tranny which I wouldn't mind but really don't want to do...

Look forward to seeing the results. I've been all over this engine bay installing/moding/upkeeping my kit so I know the limitations well:rofl2:

Tony/Dan from FI broke an axle during their initial runs when they broke the 1/4 mile record...so it can happen with less than 600 ftlbs.

Yes a stock car that wheel hops everywhere will brake axles. If u do stiff *** bushings in the back with stiff springs then u can eliminate as much wheel hop as possible and the axles will last longer..or just get traction. Wheel hop killer on our cars and it kills axles..our axles are pretty stout for a factory axle.

Yeah I don't get much wheel hop at all...just straight lights up the tires:tup:

Yup, bushings are key, I know they started recommending them from that point forward...I know because I had the next to be installed.

Changed the left side turbo and clocked it up which was my original idea. It gave better clearance agisnt the sub frame and should make for easy charge pipe from that side.

That's a pretty clean shot. Wrap the **** out of that hot side piping!

I changed out the stock springs and sway bar too.

YzGyz 10-28-2015 09:36 PM

What should I get and why. Will I lose handling? I might buy during the holidays during deals and sales time.

To be honest. Buy a set of coilovers and hotchkis sways. Any spring you buy is going to lower the car and you've stated previously you don't want to do that.

Sorry for the thread jack BBR. Back to the regular schedule program :tup:
