  • What clutch do you run ????

  • A RAM Single disk sintered iron setup. Very cheap and easy to use. RAM pressure plate is adjustable with a 800 pound base pressure. Normally run 900-1000 pounds of pressure.

  • Yes....gas pedal never leaves the floor, light tap on the clutch pedal on each shift.

  • What suspension work do you have done you've car? I am having a little trouble with traction. I'm running 9x28 Hoosier slicks. Do you have an aluminum flywheel? It rather sounds like it. I have a Richmond 5-speed, just in the 11's however not as fast. Any pointers would be great. I have 90/10 fronts and 50/50 rears, I also have tubular lowers and adjustable uppers. Soon to be a drag race anti-roll bar as well. I need new upper bushings, what would you suggest?

  • its funny seein the stock column with the shifter in park,, while this car is haulin ass

  • sweet run

  • who said a 408 cant rev,awsome dude

  • You'd run a lot faster if you would fix your instant center

  • what you got for internals? fully forged? what cam? sorry i got a 79 monte too and i just started building a 406 for it.

  • I have big block springs but I don't know the rate. I was planning on getting 90/10 shocks for the front soon...the slicks made a world of difference. It hooks pretty good now but I still need to work with it a little bit. Check my videos out and see what else you think I could do. It pulls the wheels now :)

  • what kind of front shocks/springs? some adjustable front drag shocks go a long way. pair them with some trick springs and a true slick, it should hook pretty good once set up right. the g body suspension is pretty much identical to your car, so you should be able to achieve similiar results.

  • Meh... My Mustang can do that. I just don't like to show off. :P Just kidding. This vid is still fun to watch a year later.

  • I know you are a G-body and all...but how are you getting such good traction? I have a 4-speed in my 1965 Chevelle and I need traction with a 9" tire. Please Help! I have about 640hp with a big block and I will have slicks
