You need your AIR pump, you won't pass now. Without a sway bar you will have a lousy ride, and you can't go deleting fuel lines, you are lowing the value of your car!!!!
Bah!

i still dont understand why you deleated your sway bar... arent you still gonna DD this thing... yout gonna have loads of body roll.... i under stand people with racecars do it... but its not like your gonna be running 10's tomarrow haha.... i just dont get you guys sometimes... fuel lines are cool though that deff cleans it up alot!

thanks and the sway bar deletion helps transfer the nose weight onto the rear tires, thus better 60's. i don't think the body roll is going to be that ridic, i mean hop in a lincoln town car. plus, skinnies up front aint gunna help much, not that they will be on every day.....

Should pick up set of sway bar links that are for a Jeep. Jeep guys have ones that you can pull a c pin and they are disconnected. Surprised that no one has developed them yet for racing.

dude dont take this as a jerk comment... but just be carefull when you drive this thing.... i think how much body roll you have is gonna really surprise you... dont want to see you hit a guard rail on an off ramp going like 40 or somthing... and also... again not to sound like a dick cuase in the end its your car... if your that concerned with racing.... BUILD A RACECAR out of your car... you have the down time now to do the engine... just do it and drive a beater around... depending on how fast my car is when im done... i might just make it into a race car and cage it and stuff... if its that fast i dont know how fast its gonna be yet... would like mid 11's but well just have to see...

thanks for the concern brandon, i'll have to experience it though to really know if its an issue. i'm keeping the bar though so i can always throw it on.
hood latch is on driver side douche, this is under the coolant reservoir like just above the plastic fender. i might tuck the hood latch cable under the inner fender too....
