Will I got the second muffler installed on Friday. The car sounds really good now. They charged me $25 for the install so the total on the exhaust is $535.

Here is a clip of the exhaust before I added the second muffler:

I will get another video this week of what is sounds like now.

Friday after lunch I will having this thing dyno'd. Last time it was 130whp so we will see what it does now.

Since the last dyno I have done the exhaust, converted to an electric fan, and changed from Accel ignition coils to MSD Blaster 2.

Thanks

This run went great. I did the run in 3rd vs. 2nd on the last run. The car pulled great. Looking at the A/F ratio I still need to go up on my AP jets but other then that it is running great.

My RB street/strip clutch setup will be here today. I also ordered a new trans front cover, front and rear seal, Release Bearing, and Pilot Bearing Seal. I already have a light weight steel flywheel and SS clutch line in the car.

sounds like fun....

how do you know you need to adjust your a/f ratio?

if you look at the black line you can see the lean spike at about 3200 rpm. that is the problem. That is the point when I slammed on the gas and opened up the butterflies.

I have my new clutch in, it came in on Friday. I plan to do the install on Friday. The parts look great, I'll get some pics up when I get a chance.

I sniffed around your 7 on the way out of the alley last Saturday. Hopefully next time I can get a closer look:)

Did it smell like I was burning oil? haha. yup next time you will have to actually see the car. All my bling is under the hood and under the car.

It had been sitting long enough, the lingering earth-killing oil smell had disapated:lol:

Yeah, I was thinking the only visible eye candy was the muffler....

I really want to get to the clutch install. All this weather has messed this up. I can get my car in the garage but all the mud and crap under my car make it not so fun for this. I still need to pick up some more royal purpe oil for the trans and I'm set to start this. If all goes well I will start this on Friday.
