1988 Cutlass - GNX Suspension Upgrade

Mine will do one but it hooks up right away, a little difficult to do in fact...
I was practicing on country roads for about a half hour to see what it was like in preparation for the drag strip.
I am suspecting this is because a GNX only has 360 ft-lbs of torque where the 455 I'm running is at 510 ft-lbs...

Mike, does this system run about $2500? Is that with the GNX tailpipes? I wonder if they are gonna make any more...

If its $2500 it would be worth the money for the cool factor alone. Post some video if your car launching if you can Mike.

I was told they are not making them anymore, but who knows... it might be a marketing ploy.
The setup with tail pipes is $3k, $2695 for the rear suspension package and $300 for the tails.
I had nothing but issues with getting the bushings pressed, it's a tight fit and I suspect that the welding process has warped the bushing orifices, I am still waiting for replacement bushings so I can get them installed in the torque arm properly, right now they are backwards on a replacement arm I was sent.
Also, the RH frame bracket needs to be tailored a little...

I am going to see if I can getting to the track this Sunday, supposed to have ideal track conditions.
The past couple weeks have been bad weather.

I really need to get a pair of drag radials and adjustable shocks...
