Well I have had my car out for a couple test drives and wanted to share my thoughts about the BMR parts and the Lingenfelter CAI.
First the Lingenfelter CAI I am going to highly recommend..:thumbsup:
The engine bay is hot from a couple good runs and when you feel the inside of the box it is cool. When you feel the filter, the chrome K&N end it is almost cold to the touch. Granted I use quite a bit of Foil tape to seal it up nice and tight but it is doing the job great..

Now on the BMR parts..
I installed the Pinion support, toe rods, trailing arms, and the Anti-wheelhop kit.
Over all I have to give it :thumbsup: aswell.
It sure does the job, atleast from the couple test launches and speed shifts going into second and third gear. Now this was done on the street so the track might prove different results. I never really had a problem on the street launching, but no hop and just a little spin on the few test runs that I did. Now the big test for me was the speed shifting, every time I have tried it being on the street or at the track I got violent wheel hop. Now it just spins and not even one hop, very happy with that.. I feel a low 13 second run coming next time at the track if it acts the same there.:bouncy:
Only complaint it the added noise, some of it is the Bar hitting my exhaust and the rest must be the toe rods or trailing arms. My wife and son were with me on the few easier test and she said the noise didn't bother her at all. It isn't loud but you can hear things...haha And I had the radio off so we could here every little noise there was. I need to space the bar a little more and then there will be no exhaust against the bar noise.
Here are a couple more pics and I am planning on going to the 1/4 mile this Friday if everything goes as planned. I will be shooting for a very low 13 second run.. wish me luck..;)

Bill -

Thanks for the reports. I had to actually notch my BMR bar to clear the B&B exhaust, because spacers quickly ran me out of threads on the bolts :(

My exhuast, for some reason, seems to be hanging lower than most.

Good luck at the track!

I know what you mean, I am running the aluminum spacers plus two washers now. I knew I should have left the three washers on each side I had put on in the beginning. lol Trial and error I guess, I have had that bar on and off three times already.. haha Getting good at it now though..:thumbsup:
I am hoping for the best on friday, I know some have broke without any wheelhop so you never know. I just hope the weather is good..
