Hello, just joined your forums, from Hinton, AB, Canada

I currently own an '83 Monte Carlo, (used to be an 81 Gran Prix, until an altercation with a Tempo...)

Mine is the plain-jane Monte with a few add-ons:

Eibach Sport springs w/ Polygraphite bushings (Energy Suspension)
Polygraphite body mounts, transmission mounts and engine mounts
Holley 850cfm VS carb with Holley 75gph 'Red' electric fuel pump
Hooker Super Competition Engine-swap Headers, dual 3" exhaust with dump tubes and Walker mufflers
Boxed rear 4-link (GM) with Koni 7-way shocks (rear) and Competition engineering drag shocks (front)
Cragar SS 15x8 front rims with 215/65R 15, Keystone Raider 15x10 rear rims with 225/70R 15

Thanks, I actually built this back in '98. Last few years it didn't get much use, so I had to do some tuning this year. It's all running great, now though.

Well, I missed a few, like the Pioneer Head unit, Phoenix Gold 4 channel amp bridged, running a Dual band-pass sub box with twin 10" Soundstream Rubicons...

I also installed Buick Regal buckets and a Gran Prix console. The Tach is installed where the clock goes.

Also has a Linelock, Trans cooler, with thermostatic control and remote spin-on filter for the transmission. Heavy front swaybar, and added rear swaybar.

It accellerates like a drag car, and handles like a road car.

I am looking for a couple of aluminum mags, to put on the drag slicks, to save weight and am going to 26"x10.5" slicks to lower the rear diff rate a bit. Along with an electirc cooling fan, and a couple other cheap mods I should be able to push close to 11.5 in the 1/4.
