    you could upgrade to a more aggressive pad as well for a fairly cheap upgrade

    You'll have to get me on the same page... a 3.90 is a lower gear then a 3.73. My car is an auto, as all GNs and TTypes were. With an auto we don't need to spool the turbo while moving, we can build boost on the line. When I put the 3.90s in it my acceleration was significantly harder, and I had better 60 ft times by a good margin. But by the time I got 7/8s of the way down the track I was running out of motor. My times actually dropped almost 3/8 second. With the 3.73s I was able to stay in my powerband to the end of the track. If I were to run 1/8 miles I would have likely gone to 4.10s, but I ran 1/4s. Also, as far as streetability, the 3.73s are much more gentlemanly gears on the road... and this car gets driven. It has ~240,000 on it now. I was speaking lower numerically, as in shallower. I know a couple guys around here with turbo LS1/auto Camaros, and they first had 3.73s then switched to 3.23s and got faster.

    way bad ass dude it's interesting that you're stepping up (numerically) the rear gear ratios. the turbo racers I know around here go lower with their gears to help load up the turbo. thoughts?

    how much do you guys pay? Wish we made enough to pay our help, but some of the big haunters told us we do too much. What we do is provide food and beverages during the haunt season and then in November have a big party as a thank you. The volunteers who do a great job and show up every weekend get to travel with us to the conventions. ah, still sounds fun as hell

    I always liked Christmas the best, until we started the haunt. Now we celebrate halloween for almost 2 months and open during big events in our town. This year we are doing a haunted mansion. 2 months of Halloween would be freakin' awesome!!

    yep, but that's basically a full drag race motor, doubt any parts of it were made in the 60's the extra exhaust tips are weird, and the tires on backwards is just dumb

    WITH TURBOZ! 500+ HP in a 3,000 lb. car ain't enough? a Boss 429 Mustang is probably in the 3800 lb range That's pretty heavy. My 68 Galaxy was a hair over 3800lbs with some gas, a big block, and stereo in it. the big ass Boss heads have to add some heft and Mustangs were starting to get a little portly around '70 (when the 429 was introduced, right?)

    rectal prolapse Can I pop that too? don't think so? (technically speaking its when the rectum starts to sag and protrudes through the anus, basically the intestinal tract turning itself inside out, kinda sorta) looks like a blossoming flower
