Methanol Injection>>Now we are talking. That will keep the temperature down in the cylinders and add horsepower. I recommend a direct port setup using fuel injectors and a fuel pump in a seperate fuel cell in the back. You can use fuel pressure regulators to adjust the volume of meth you spray ...I use vaccuum actuated setup so it is fully progressive, sprays more as boost increases. The only drawback to using meth injection is that when you mix it with nitromethane it causes you to get an innacurate reading fom your wideband. But detonation and preignition are rare. I threw the dam car in 2nd instead of 4th lol and it free spooled the motor to 8550 rpms and my knock count was only 120. Just dont spend a fortune on a setup you can do yourself. If you want to know more about how to throw one together give me shout. Oh and that is what my moser cost...dont neglect to pay the extra hundred or so for the fill cap or you will be tapping one yourself. And the rotating assembly numbers that I gave you are for one of the best price wise. Call summit and they will cross reference that for your displacement 800 230 3030

look at midwest chassis 9" cheap and good. also find exotic performance plus they can get you a moser 9" for around 2300 and remember you dont need gun drilled axels and aluminum center and all that. if your driving it dont go spool id go with a locker. tru tracs hav been none to fail. and spec clutch's shouldnt run 1200 which one you lookin at? i got my spec 3+ with a billet steel flywheel for 900. eagle isn't bad some people say stay away from them but others run them in bad motors. my set up is forged eagle crank eagle H beam rods and diamond pistons. the rotating assembly is probably goin to run u 2000+

im assuming that the 1200 is for clutch and flywheel. and with the hp rating im thinkin its the 3+ unless ur gettin an aluminum flywheel it shouldnt be 1200. you should contact spec directly. i got mine from a sponsor for spec on another site and since i bought both clutch and flywheel he took 10% off. if you pay 1200 it better be for a mcleod twin disk

They are rated in torque capacity i think and the spec 5 is brutally strong 1008 ftlbs of torque for only 639 dollars U cant do better than that (although they do have stronger cluches but the cash goes up drastically) have a look (u have to scroll down to LT1 93-97): http://www.specclutch.com/cars/Chevy/Camaro/1995/Single

Dont let the nay sayers tell u that spec clutches are hit or miss either because I have heard that before...THey have always been a hit with me, break it in proper and it will hold and hold well ive destroyed 2rear ends and 1transmission with spec clutches and the only one that failed was one on my friends eclipse that we put in it broke the rivits that held it together, I suspect that he didnt break it in properly but i can post pics of it if you like.

well i started the mock up for the turbos tonight. the only thing is i can't find the wire for my camera to computer. probably the beers fault. tomorrow i will put some pics on here. the only thing we did was remove the pass side manifold and put old head on to see clerance issues. the a/c is going and the heater core box. thank god i live in hawaii so i don't have to worry about the heater. the a/s will just have to be the windows. sorry so long i am drunk. thanks guys.
