Yes that be what it is, in my eyes don't need nothing special back there just alittle something to help roll her up. Good place for the cheesy bumpers

for the question on the aluminum dogbone motor mounts..... just take a piece of angle iron and drill a hole in each end and bolt it to the side of the dogbone with the origonal bolts. problem solved. also, if you take a piece of 1 1/4 square stock and pull the front three fender bolts out and beat it to the firewall and then drill and tap the holes and reinstall the fender bolts..... helps alot on the cars that have the square channel under the fender. Also taken 3 inch well pipe and slid it to the firewall and made some super bumper shocks and car was way nasty. Regal killed 12 cars out of 16 with head on track shots. Finished second because engine rotated down and drug the oil filter off and it finally locked up the engine. Bumper never budged ;D

id use square stock for the dog bones and weld tabs on em so it doesnt roll down as easy instead of the angle iron.

I dont know if this helps but i had a problem one time with a grand prix with the round top 3100 and it "seemed" to help. I ran it twice and the first time i lost the radiator and it got hot and shut off the fuel. So the next demo we wired in a resister on the water temp sensor and looped it. Im not sure what size the resister was, i can look but we found a chart and got the one that would make the computer read the hottest temp all the time. then we hooked up the computer to read the temp reading and it read 200 degrees right after starting it up, the idle went up, not sure if it was that or what, but it ran great, since i lost the radiator we looped the radiator hoses and got about 15 minutes out of it. (I was made angry so the pedal was to the floor) It got hot and shut off but lasted long enough to get 6th out of 21. My starter must have been pulling alot of juice trying to start when it was hot because the battery started smoking, I didnt diagnose it after but i think worked because it started on the trailer after the show. I got the resister at Radioshack, anyone else try this?

On a 95 lumina with a 3100 does anyone know what sensors you can get rid of? and the car still run and can you buy headers that can be used without modifying the motor mounts? also what would be a good 80s and up bumper for on the front? any advice appreciated tanks.
