im gonna try to get a vid of the 88 today. i may or may not. who knows. i hope though cause the weather is great.

5 degrees? OUCH. I just had to replace my dizzy as the bearings were shot. The new dizzy itself helped it out alot but so did bumping the timing up to 16*. 16 MPG city anyone?

 

[Skandocious]

16*?! Damn! You running premium?

 

[flareside_thunder]

Nope...87 octane and no pinging whatsoever!

 

[Skandocious]

You take it up a steep hill and load the engine in overdrive without letting it downshift? That's when mine used to ping when I was running around 14* on 87.

 

[flareside_thunder]

Up n down 60 miles of flat/hilly interstate.

ok heres the 0-60 for the 88. keep in mind the speedo is 5 mph off so when it hits 55 its really 60. and also the 3.08 gear is slowing it down some. sucks. it needs 3.73s. maybe another rear end swap in the future????? i counted right bout 9 secs.

I have a set of those gears......rotting away at the house...

dayum. how much ya want for them? and they are for a 8.8" right?

 

[flareside_thunder]

yea they are for an 8.8.....I bought them and a posi carrier that needed to be rebuilt. the carrier is a little rusty but the gears have been contained. The guy I got them from had em in the box his new gears came in. No chipping or wear on em, they are in excellent shape.
