Yeah, same here on the gearing bump and the motor. I ran some numbers and switching from a 4.3 to a 3.9 will be a loss of about 10% of torque at the wheel. But, it should still accelerate a tad faster than what it did with STS size tires, not counting the 300lb weight loss, so I'm trying to...

How hard these can transition is pretty crazy. It's almost as if the harder you make transitions, the harder they want to hang on. Imagine doing what we did and came straight from 195 toyos, yikes! Are you still on a 1.6 4:30 rear diff? If so, get used to that rev limiter (drive). Today and...

I hear that, I have a couple kids myself. It would be nice see a few more DP cars out there. Thats one of the big downsides is that there aren't too many out there and direct competition is polar opposite of STS. The slicks are to darn fun so I guess I'm ok with it. :)

Very nice...wish my car was that ready. Any plans on doing some national stuff?

We are pretty much in the same boat on the weight. We are going against convention and will be running a hardtop. Its a lot of weight up high but for the moment its the easy button. We've done pretty much all the same gutting and its looking like min weight is within reach. Anyway, I was...

Just wanted to pop in and say this is a great build Amaff. I'm doing pretty much the same thing and converting my STS car into a DP car. I've been reading this quite a lot in the off season and getting ideas. Kudos to documenting it all. Question: how close are you to min. weight? Based on...
