Re: Got the rear fixed!

Speaking of weak rears though, the 7.5" 10bolt being the time bomb that it is, lasted a long time in my buddies 10 second Camaro. It seems the M6's are much more brutal on them than the autos. He was cutting consistant high 1.5's on the motor and low 1.4's on the bottle.

Now I know weight was really helping there (his car being 3,200 with out him), but my truck last time weighed was only 3,840 with me in it. I have since:

Swaped from 7" steel wheels to 6" front and 12" rear drag lite
Removed front bumper and frame stubs
Pulled heater box and plumbing for it

Have yet to:
Remove power steering and install Vega steering box
Swap to manual brakes from my boosted set up
Buy glass hood.

I suspect I'll be a little bellow stock F-body weight when done.
