    Let's talk drag radials.

    For a cheaper route, I bought some mustang rims with Nitto drag radials already mounted from Craigslist for ~ $300. Think they are 17 X 9 inch rims, so a little smaller diameter and wider than stock. Tire mounted on rim measures ~1.5 inches wider than stock. Fit over the brakes just fine...

    The Texas "break from the christmas BS" meet

    Ditto. Sometimes hard to get away that close to the holiday, but willing to try if you can post more info.

    Best rear trailing arms/Watts links & why...

    I have the Metco control arms, but that is only because they were in stock and the Sparta arms were not when I ordered. I am sure that either are an improvement. The Metco's took .15 off of my ET, so pretty happy with that. This probably comes down to minor price differences and parts...

    That's pretty fast in these heavy cars. Time for a harness and a cage!!

    Trilogy / Engine Efficiency Improvements

    I would worry (more than a little) about this on a frequently driven street car. There doesn't seem there is much of a fail-safe if the pump relay fails (or some other failure occurs) that causes to pump not to run. At a minimum, I would want a 'real' water temp gauge and some type of...

    Possible engine change

    If both are 2v's, I'd keep the 390 because of the torque curve. If a later 351 4v, it might tip towards the newer 351, if you aren't concerned about keeping numbers matching, etc. Both have plenty of aftermarket support and can be pepped up pretty cheaply. Assuming no machining needed on...

    Trilogy / Engine Efficiency Improvements

    Those parts should work. For the money, I'd consider the killer chiller. Looks like the killer chiller might be less overall, even if you had someone install it. There are a few posts on other forums showing a killer chiller install on a Marauder if you are interested. I am in Texas though...

    Regretted Mods

    I am about to put my 1-2 spring back in as well. Probably leave the 2-3 spring out since this shift still feels a little soft to me.

    Head Light Harness upgrade

    Circuit breaker is a much better idea than a fuse or fusible link. If there is a problem at night, the circuit breaker should let you get home (with flickering lights) so you can fix the problem.

    Is this price good or am I being taken for a ride?

    KBB value is what its worth to a bank. Any more than that is what its worth to you. If you want it and you're happy with the price, buy it. If not, move on. FWIW, it looks clean, but mileage is a little high for that price, but not unreasonable.

    Just saw that you already have gears. Good luck.

    Trilogy / Engine Efficiency Improvements

    For intercooling improvements, I would look at the Killer Chiller unit that actively cools, or the type 100 heat exchanger from frozenboost.com. If you are going to run the Killer Chiller, keep the small trilogy heat exchanger. The part number that I have for the larger intercooler reservoir...

    Help. No start

    That price is within the range of what a shop would charge to replace a pump. Let us know if you get it back on the road or have any trouble.

    Goodguys Lone Star Nationals

    I'm on the North side of the metroplex but the forecast scared me off from the goodguys event. Now that the weather is cooling down, its about time to start hitting North Star and Red Line for some 1/8 mile runs.

    Free oem h pipe and mufflers!

    Greyhound shipping can handle the oversized items and at a decent rate. Have to drop off and pickup at a bus station and its not a fast as UPS, FEDEX, etc., but works pretty well for large items.

    Cost of Supercharger vs Engine Upgrade

    This is so true and often overlooked, even for those with the Trilogy kit. The tune that came with the kit was a 50 state safe tune for all variations in altitude from LA to CO.
