I will offer them to TALON first or they will go to Houston this weekend. They are the springs off my truck the fronts are custom 1100#s 1.75 drop, the rears are Hotchkis 300# 2.25 drop on old trucks, about 4" drop on new trucks. These were part of my road racing setup. $250 for all 4.

--wesIf you want them Wes I will put them on while it is here. Just know they are for road racing not drag racing.

Hmmm...will they hurt straight line performance bad ?

I just want some springs to lower the truck, if they wont be too large a detriment that's cool. If you suggest getting some a little softer that won't hurt straight line performance that's cool too.

BTW-I have a powercooler here that I want to install I meant to throw it in the truck and ask you to install it with the motor....I'm sure I'll see you before everything gets back so I'll get it to you.

I ran decent times on them but I think they cost a few tenths. You definately need a good shock for them. I would say spend the funds on fuel system for the beasaty motor setup:evil

I'm getting the 95mm MAF from Trai and I found the pumps for $249...still trying to source the injectors....do you suggest the 50-55 or 60# ?

I think we can make plenty of power with 50's and run a safe duty cycle. It will probably be 3-4 weeks before the engine comes back anyway:rolleyes:

Cool...the reason I asked is because the prices are about the same regardless of size. I didn't know the power limitations of each. Do you know the power range/duty cycle for each size ?

BTW-I'm used to buying **** for imports....this domestic stuff is much cheaper....a set of 555cc injectors for the 300TT are over 1k....and that's for 6 of the damn things.:rolleyes:

You can top 600 on 50's.

one of those code-monkey-geek-types with hair on his palms, lieing, cheating, and stealing upper management, executive, and wanna-be managers who sit around not doing the real work, pushing pencils or electrons or pushing people around with their thinly-veiled threats. Typically, schoolyard bullies or business school grads who spent their entire college careers learning how to cheat.You could afford them....:evil :evil :hammer: :hammer: :throw: :flaming: :flaming:
