Some of you who've
come to this site are here because you noticed this web address posted where my
Superbee currently resides! Thanks for stopping by and checkin out the
site!
Others have
happened across this site some other way, such as from a search engine or the
like! Thanks for popping by and checkin out the XtremeBee.com site as
well!
This site is about
the Superbee specifically, Dodge's and Mopars in general as well as overall
high performance vehicle basics and, more specifically, high performance tuning
for both POWER as well as better gas mileage!
Xtreme High
performance with Very
High Reliability are key factors in the logic and theories applied within
this site.
We'll start with
the basics first and then go into the different types of a vehicles for Xtreme
performance and tuning thereafter.
SAFETY is key in
this endeavor, if you don't consider safety in every aspect of your vehicle,
anything could happen while you're cruisin down the road or racin at the track
including, but not limited to, engine/drivetrain failure, brake failure, even
STEERING FAILURE!! OUCH!
I'm currently going
through the STOCK drum brakes on my Superbee, but have plans to swap out the
front drums for 13 inch disc brakes using existing off the shelf parts, such as
steering knuckles(spindles) from an early 70's dart, along with the discs and
calipers from an early 80's magnum cop car. This VERY high performance
mod will only cost in the $75 to $150 range even if I use all new parts from an
autoparts store! This will increase my stopping power over MANY times
what it is currently w/ the old antiquated drum brakes!

10 second quarter mile times IMMEDIATELY if you can hook up!
Big Stuff Fuel
injection is looking good as well as possibly a set of generic T04 turbo's...
Also have a Vette
which some may've noticed when passing by my place.
The Vette is a 1975
Stingray, currently has a 383 of unknown origin, I bought it w/ this engine in
it already, pretty beefy cam, but I believe it's hydraulic, probably a 13 or so
second car, haven't had it to the track... YET!
The Vette has:
Single 750 vacuum
on it,
Stock HEI
distributor
MSD 6AL ignition
module,
Is a 4 speed,
probably an M-21,
DEFINITELY a POSI
independent rear suspension w/ 4 wheel disc brakes.
Has a Turbo body
kit halfway installed,
Turbo hood...
Headers,
Flowmasters, which
I turned out in front of the rear tires for the time being to get it to pass
inspection here in Texas...
This car is out of Hawaii!
Believe it or not! and doesn't have a drop a rust on it's body ANYWHERE!! Just
kiddin, if ya know anything about Vette's, ONE thing ya should DEFINITELY KNOW,
is that their bodies are made out of Fiberglass, so they'll NEVER EVER have any
rust on the BODY, no matter WHERE they've 'lived' all their life. ha...
If you have
questions or need any help w/ your vehicle or have anything you'd like to share
just drop me a line.
Have a GREAT one n
keep on burnin rubber! WOOOHOOO!!
Sincerely,
Todd...
