I have Hooker Comp headers (no flange) the pipes are for the street only so who cares. If you want to make power two bolts and one tug and the are uncapped... case closed or should I say open ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

Looks like you get what you paid for... I running Hooker Comp Headers and have no problems changing plugs on the 2.02 angle heads. The pipe are bent to give full access to 700R4 trans with two good glass packs at the rear. Remove two bolts and one pull and the headers are uncapped. ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

On a normal straight axle car the rear wheels are maintained at a 90 degree angle to the road. So, for a drag car, you get the most traction. For an IRS unit the tire travels through an arc which changes the camber (more positive). Since this helps against side forces on the tire and counter acts body roll it is a good thing and improves handling. As Mikelly noted, an IRS car squats on take-off but when it does it adds camber and the tires are no longer flat on the road which reduces traction. It is interesting to note that the NASCAR boys actually bend the rear axle tube to provide positive camber. This is really rough on the rear axles and bearings which is why you see them fail once in awhile. Speed Racer, If you let enough air out of the tires they should sit flat... LOL NASCAR puts the hubs (end plate) on with an offset and fine tunes the angle with heat on the top or bottom of the axle then cools with water to fine tune it. Do you know how big the cheater pipe would have to be to bend the housing... LOL IRS Vette rear end is hard to beat and has not broke yet... ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

Hmmmmmmmm, Corvette IRS under a Z .......... I got one under my 77 works great... Just need to finger out the parking brake... ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

I have the whole vette rear end under my 77. running 245x45ZR 16 on centerlines and can still fit a finger betwen the tire and suspensions. I would like to know if anyone else has the same setup and how you got the parking brakes to work... ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

put me down for one of each one with flares and a cowl style hood Carbon Fiber door panels, dash panels, but no to center consoles or stock clips Please! How long before this might happen! ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

ya Ross, how about part numbers and url's which booster and master do you have. I have 450 horses that want to stop on a dime and still give change back... LOL ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

I saw someone post about putting a Ford Rack (Stang I think) with power steering on zcar.com 70-84 but he did not say anything about how to just that he wanted to. Hope this helps ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com

Shannon, I have a vette rearend in my 450+ HP and it hooks up strong and I can still corner also. 700R4 will get rubber in 1st, 2nd and 3rd... how sweet it is... ------------------ Z U V8ter http://cyind.com Rspencer@satx.rr.com
