Whipple Stage 2 done, what's next???

[Furore]

on an auto, i really think the halfshafts will do the job, just the reg ones, but we can def set you up with the dss rear end if you'd like one.

we have our full bmr / dss setup on our car, it's the quickest s/c s550 running the oem rear end.

1.3 60's, tons of passes, mid 8 sec ets, and we only expect to get quicker.

we did upgrade to the iron diff and wavetrac, which we keep in stock

Thanks Beef.. You recommended the OPG/Timing Sprocket, and MMR Balancer when I did my Whipple install... and I am crazy glad I did it, especially given some of the recent posts lately.

Hi, just wondering what you think about stock 1/2 shafts in an automatic? I'll be putting my Whipple on it but I don't drag or run stickies. I'm just trying to keep the driveline as smooth as possible this time. I do have FFRP 1/2 shafts from my last car but wondering if I need them.

You shouldn't notice any drivability change with half shafts. I would definitely upgrade them

Just bit the bullet on the following suspension upgrades:

BMR-SP089 Front Performance Springs
BMR-SP088 Drag Springs
Stock Front Struts
VIK-B358AM Viking Crusader Rear Shocks
BMR-CB005 Cradle Lockout Kit
BMR-TR005 Toe Rods
BMR-TCA045 Vertical Links
BMR-BK055 Lower Control Arm Bearing

Hoping to solve this wheel hop problem. That should do the trick.

Is that the Lethal package? Looks to be about the same things I got with mine, give or take, and hooking up is not really an issue now.

Don't forget to pick up either Ford Racing Knuckle bearings or Full Tilt Boogies version.

This isn't the Lethal Package. I got this directly from BMR on recommendations from their tech.

Yeah it gets installed next week. It should make a world of difference!

Kelly @ BMR told me I wouldn't need them based on my needs.

Its the last piece of your puzzle. Your going to have the knuckles off to install the LCA bearings in my opinion you'd be crazy not to invest the $60 ish bucks and do them at the same time. Trust me they are definitely worth the investment and time, you will get a big improvement.

My guess is there may have been a misunderstanding during your conversation with Kelly because I know he knows these are worth it by themselves but especially when your gonna be right there doing everything else. If you don't do them they will be the last bushing in your rear suspension and you will have to be more concerned with "clocking" your suspension. With them changed to bushing you will not have to worry about that which is another reason to do them if you ask me.


Just trying to help :cheers:

I wasn not doubting you. I believe you. I will look into it.

[MENTION=21427]Furore[/MENTION]No need to buy the knuckle bearings if you are replacing the toe rods. Take the joints out of the OEM toe rods they are the same bearings and cost you nothing.

Alright thanks, bro.

 

[Super Werty]

Does BMR sell Lcas with all their spherical bearings already pressed in? I would do this. Send in your cores when done.

Bingo, I forgot about this. Now its zero dollars but either way I suggest you do them. Good luck
