    And i pulled a plug. And it is the NGK TR6, So guess ill swap them out. Thanks again for the help. Would of never thought of that.
    No worries mate! I have been around these cars for years. Anytime on the help. As far as cams go just make sure you look into the heads you are planning on getting to make sure the cam will work good with those heads. Also the best thing to do is look around at other peoples set-ups to see what is working for them. Remember bigger is not always better when it comes to cams unless you are in Texas nitrous air...

    Deal of a lifetime

    Wow you almost just paid for the mods lol What a deal enjoy Just bring it to a shop that are familiar with these cars and change the trans fluid and filter plugs Gears are probably changed You might want to change the diff oil and check the gears then you'll know what you have and maybe the cam is in there already ask the previous owner Sometimes the clear can be fixed by sanding and re clearing the car I have a few bubbles and the I'm having it blend in

    Good luck and congrats !!!! It's worth double in my eyes easy cleaned up even more

    Be careful with the engine and driveline in that car. You get the feeling that car has been ridden pretty hard. Not an easy 33K miles I'm sure, especially some on the bottle.

    And hell yeah, keep the women away from this one!! Tell the next gf that bitches belong in the passenger seat, see how that goes over!! Was it the same ex that wrecked the one and stole the other, or two different exes? Sounds like some good stories there to tell

    Great deal, congrats

    Why not just put nitrous back on? Nitrous is an easy power adder, and can be activated when needed. And you can still add your heads and cam too. You can safely run up to 150HP nitrous setup on a stock V8. I wouldnt be concerned about it having nitrous previously unless you see signs of damage or if it wasnt running properly.

    Nitrous is 100% safe, as long as you have a good tune and you use it as you should (2500 RPM or higher @ WOT)

    You already have a lot of the parts needed.

    If you dont go with nitrous, I would probably just repurpose the switches for guage lighting or amp on/off... Who needs a little storage area there?

    Not trying to tell you what to do with your car, just making suggestions.

    Thanks for the feedback. But right now not going to go nitrous. I actauly have just about all the parts to install my F1A procharger. Witch is a bit much for stock. And ill probably have to run a restrictior plate to cut down psi tell i can build a motor. But after i have it install i think my next project will be building a 408 for the f1a.

    Tell that to all the people who had window switches, good tunes, etc and still blew up their cars. It happens more than you'd think. Anytime you add 50% more power to an engine instantaneously, bad things can and will happen.

    You can easily add the same amount of power from heads/cam, turbo, or super... But usually will cost much more for the same HP and still blow up your anything... Just need to use it right and tune for it.

    I am currently twin turbo, and waiting for my nitrous to be delivered.

    Nitrous is no more than a turbo or a supercharger wrapped up in a bottle with more oxygen content per pound then the air in the atmosphere, and the nitrogen is there to keep the heat in check.

    None of what your saying changes the fact that nitrous is far from a safe infallible power adder. And all power adders are not the same as far as how they apply more stress to a motor.

    Besides, only babies drink from bottles.

    I like that babies comment , but nitrous would be like feeding a baby steroids not milk .

    Didnt mean to steal the thread, again good deal on a great car, and please post up your results with the super on there when its done.
