Re: slamburban

1/4 inch sounds really small for a 400 HP motor. Factory TBI lines are 3/8 feed, ad 5/16 return, and probably half the power. I would definitely step that up.

Cool build, though. I like the Mark VIII IRS.

Re: slamburban

I hope your luck with airbagit is better than mine. The system i got from them is junk and am about to buy all new valves from air ride tech or someplace that has a history of quality equipment. I had one valve that bypassed through exhaust port always because of o ring failure and tried replacing orings and didnt help. then I had another valve stick open to always pump air to the bag. not good. for now i just put shrader valves on to get by the problem. like i said i hope yours is better but i would not recomend their products to anyone else.

I have an oder that is over 3 weeks old and never shipped, thinking about canceling it, all they have are excuses. poor customer service. don't offer something for sale if you can't produce the product

if i could turn back the clock. i would have spent the extra money and went with air bag tech. the air bag it system in mostly made of japan made metric parts (japametric). there is a reason why they are so cheap, they have cheap quality parts. i had to remind them to ship my order.when i called them up for tech support. he kept putting me on hold to answere other calls, like ten times. when i finally talk to him he was in a big hurry to get me off the phone. he kept telling me to read the instructions and i did about 5 times before i called him. i dont think they actually have any experience. he sounded like he was reading from a book somewhere in india. i will never buy from them again.if i where you i would cancel the order and spend the extra money. if you can

Re: slamburban

Re: slamburban

i finally finished the body work on the firewall and shot it with filler primer. now it time to spend a whole day blocking it out. the plan is to have it painted the same blue as the frame and start white checker boarding the inner part of the firewall by friday. but we'll see how that goes.
