It's never enough. My car pulls pretty good now and I immediately want more, substantially more. The feeling of getting pushed back in your seat is nice. It's also nice knowing that I can dust 90% of the cars on the road any time I need to pull a dick move. I'll probably spring for spray so I can hit the track and embarass some people. Don't hesitate to get yourself new doorstops, it'll be worth it in the end.1992 CVLX. 5.0 HO/GT40P/T5/3.73/trak-lok with bolt ons. 02 front CVPI setup, rear HPP setup, CVPI shocks around, F250 radiator, e-fans, and the power of 3G. 15.92@89mph, 2.4 60', 4700' elevation (5500' DA) with 3.08 open rear and the old oil chugging 289.

The next thing that's getting done is rear end work. It needs brakes and typical rear axle service for one of these cars.
It will probably get discs out back for safety sake since I'd have to replace all of the drum hardware anyway. We'll see on that one.
What it's definitely going to get is numerically higher gears (I'm on the fence for 373 or 410s) and a track lock. New axle shafts and all of the bearings and seals it will need.sigpic

If you're planning more road trips, 4.10's might be a tad high.'79 Continental Town Car

What's your speed limit? For an engine that doesn't rev worth a crap I can't recommend more than 3.73. The 75mph speed limit out here makes me want for 3.55's over 3.73's, but 3.73's are on the shelf so 3.73's it is.1992 CVLX. 5.0 HO/GT40P/T5/3.73/trak-lok with bolt ons. 02 front CVPI setup, rear HPP setup, CVPI shocks around, F250 radiator, e-fans, and the power of 3G. 15.92@89mph, 2.4 60', 4700' elevation (5500' DA) with 3.08 open rear and the old oil chugging 289.

The highest posted legal speed limit I've seen is 110 or 120km/h - 100km/h is the highest you'll see unless you drive hours away.
100km/h = 62mp/h but generally 100 to 120km/h (74mp/h) is about the top cruising speed I'll see. Will most certainly push the car higher if I've got enough road and there's nobody around.
The majority of my driving is done around town...the limit on my regular commute is 70 or 80km/h (43 or 49 in MPH, respectively.)sigpic

What seals and bearings etc should I be stocking up on? Going to buy all of the small stuff first, then axles, then ring/pinion and diff. Going to do things that way in case I should find myself without any money at some point, and I can just freshen it up with new bearings/seals and axle shafts.sigpic
