Yup, would agree. I'm going to try to avoid rebuilding the lsd I have by not performing those.

I'm not much of a drag racing participant much more a watcher/fan.

I prefer to participate for the most part,lol. My wife also drag races her toy as often as she can.She probably does more street racing that she doesn't tell me about then i do,lol.She used to street race my old 68Z more then i did when we were first married 35 years ago,lol

Looks like a 79 ,i'm guessing if it was an original 4 speed car it still had a Pontiac 400 ,and not the Olds 403.Beautiful car.I'm really dating myself,but i bought a brand new 81 Turbo 301 T/A when i was 19,lol. Car was gutless stock,but i threw a 125 shot of nitrous on it,and it was a hell'va sleeper,till the turbo busted a blade and fed itself through the intake port.GM warrentied the motor back then with no issues,but i got rid of it right after that,lol. Had alot of fun with that car as it would give most 400 T/A's a hell'va run on the street,nitrous and a turbo go hand in hand,lol

It's not a 4 speed but soon it will be. I've been collecting parts for about 5 years! It's a stock 403 olds, 350 turbo, 2.73 posi. Believe it or not, this was my mother's car. 39k original miles. Original paint. Been in my family since new. Stored for 34 years.

My biggest problem is running down OEM pontiac parts.

My first TA was a 78, bought at 20. So I may have a year or so on you

Just a note to send a huge thank you to MoreGrip.

His old thread on how he lowered his RCSB truck has been a great help to me as I have sorted out my new to me, 2014 RCSB truck.

I've slowly been following his advice and while I've strayed on a few items, I've got to say, the components he chose and how he modified them has created the best riding short bed truck I've ever owned.

My set up is ground force 2/3 springs, stock front sway bar, f150 end links and energy suspension sway bar end links bushings. Bilstein 5125 shocks front and rear modified as MoreGrip recommended in his thread, core 4x4 control arms(U&L), core 4x4 panhard bar, (curved), bell tech panhard bar drop bracket, 1500 hellwig rear sway bar set in middle hole, energy suspension sway bar bushings and stock rear sway bar end links. It rides and handles fantastic and has gotten rid of 99% of the sway that was present when purchased. While I still have inez no cut brackets to install, they may be held till later, as I really need to replace the drive shaft before something unfortunate happens. As the better riding handling truck is starting to see higher speeds.

So thank you MoreGrip for the detailed write up, the pictures and part numbers and the absolute fantastic manner in which you got them to work together.

I highly recommend anyone lowering a RCSB to spend the time reading his thread.

Thank you!
