@@NorthernPerformanceCars damn I almost shit myself with excitement….😂 what ever happened to the fox body? Didn’t you sell that one? That was at your home shop forever ago if I remember correctly…..?
@@TheBlueCollarBaller I’ve had this car for 2 years now? Bought it to sell my buddy the engine. Just decided 8 weeks ago we should do something with it. So we threw it together!
@@NorthernPerformanceCars well hell yeah. I love that you’re still making time for yourself over there 🤙🏼🤙🏼 keep up the good work brother, I’m pumped you’re doing so well for yourself from the humble beginnings of the LS1Tech days to now. It’s incredible to see 🙌🏼
@@TheBlueCollarBaller it’s been quite a journey for sure. Been a great time though! Keep pushing myself to learn more and more. Hopefully soon I can carve out time for the green third gen. That thing is going to be a serious piece! Thanks for keeping up with us over the years. I appreciate it man!
Thats awsome, a local guy spent close to 10k on weight reduction and his car had very poor traction and they had to throw 400lbs of weight into it again to get traction. So yea, subwoofer in the rear looks like they help and make you hook on a dig
@@v8tergt653 we built the whole car as a budget ordeal. With some left over and used parts. But while building we were just conscious of where we put things and what we cut off. We left the factory tank. And left that full of fuel. The subs and box. Put the battery in the rear. And mounted anything we could furthest back. Left the factory leather seats etc. car worked great. Went 5.7 on really poor prep and 5.3’s on decent prep. Barely made 1,050 whp in perfect conditions on ethanol and non intercooled. We just rebuilt the same car with m1 and it’s a couple hundred horsepower up.
@@NorthernPerformanceCarsThis just shows that simple can be way easier and people over complicate stuff . Really good runs for those conditions and a simple budget friendly setup
I’m not sure the specific brand. It’s a really crappy one that lost a bunch of power on a truck. So a friend gave it to me. Little Chinese velocity stack sheet metal intake
Built not bought 🔥
What kind of front coilover springs are those and rate
I basically have same setup just radiator in the rear but idk what rate springs to get
14” Afco 225’s
Thing is rowdy!

What weight bias are you at?
54% in the rear. No weight added. Other than the subwoofers which are dual purpose of course!
