My Buddy had an 88 that ran low 14's/high 13's with 2.73's in this elevation. All we did was headers and a Cartech/Comp Cams upper intake. I don't know if you ever saw this intake, Ohio... but it was a pretty good improvement over the stock upper. I ran one for a couple of years until I switched to the Explorer lower and Downs Ford upper.

That kind of like the 97/98 F150's. They do everything little better than their younger brothers of that gen. Have real truck bumpers up front, look more like a truck, better. AND seem to last allot longer.

My '87, bone stock down to the intake silencer, ran 14.33 actual at about 1200' ASL.

I remember that intake being advertised in MM&Ff and 5.0 Magazine along with all sorts of other goodies I couldn't afford back then.

We are at about 4200 ASL in SLC. Where I live now is about 800 more.... just over 5000 feet.

I think we were wondering if one of these Daytona cross beams would fit on the new Pittsburgh 3 ton. My Buddy brought this to me as a gift a couple weeks ago, and I forgot to post that it does indeed fit the Pittsburgh jack. All you need is a 10mm allen wrench. I used it to rotate the tires on the 'Yota tonight. It works slick!





Brew, I finally got some"revs" in on camera. I'll get it uploaded soon. It's taking 27 forevers to upload to my server.

I don't recall that beam device being mentioned, but it sure looks like it would come in handy.

Brew: If that's true, why did AK upgrade to the 99+ bumper and valence?

Upgrade lol I don't know, personal problem I expect. Not sure why anyone would swap a real bumper with one you could bend over your knee.

Yea, -

EDIT- that was suppose to be " personal preference " btw.

My old beam just dropped in to my old jack. When I picked up the Daytona jack I had a machine shop lathe and drill a new post to fit the Daytona. Works fine but doesn't rotate as easily as the old setup for adjustments when needed.

It's being uploaded.... it'll be done in a few, but here's the link. She's running rich.... I guess I should have put an adjustable FPR on it.
