Thoughts on the qa1 shocks?

Thoughts on the stealth gear set for 9”?

Mufflers too loud?

Thanks for the feedback?

I like the QA1 shock. Once I read the instructions they are easy to set up. I went with the softest valving. I forget where I had them for settings.

I have a OE Ford gear in this car. Set up by GearFX. Still loud.

The new mufflers are "Hot Rod" quite. I am still looking for something quieter, but I'm getting old and I am tired of loud cars. I have tinnitus from all the louds stuff I have done all my life. I want my hot rods to be quieter.

Have you tried Magnaflow mufflers? They are pretty tame in my opinion. Coming from a young guy.

Are you running borla or black heart mufflers?

Yes LS 4th Gen. Stock. Works good.

Black Heart.

Mark, I am running the blackheart mufflers on my 68 (Holleys entire system for the Quadralink). I am getting an annoying exhaust drone from about 2-2400 rpm no matter what speed/gear. Are you getting the same?

Phenomenal build thread Mark!
I spent a good couple of hours going through it.
I have a question regarding your experience with alloy housings. I’m building a Pro Touring 1967 Fairlane hardtop, it’ll weigh around 3200lbs, have around 600hp and run a 6-speed, plus a pretty decent tire (315/30R18) on the back. Predominantly an occasional weekend toy with probably 3-4 track days (circuit) a year.
Strange talk about reduced life on the gears due to housing flex. Strange Engineering also did not recommend their alloy centre due to the weight – yet I’ve seen a host of cars running alloy centres. You’ve used them and have beat on them pretty hard – what’s been your experience?
Thanks in advance
Craig P
