Just got it back from getting the headers made last night. Finished a few odds and ends and fired it up this afternoon. [Big Grin]

Now for 500 miles on the clutch and back to the track for some cool weather racing [Big Grin] [burnout]

Very cool!

I'll be hitting the track as soon as I get my torque boxes reinforced. The upper reinforcements are bolted in and ready for welding and the lowers... well I had to send them back to the manufacturer for a slight modification. Should be here next week.

26x8.5 Mickeys are on their way (:
Then I need to find some rims to mount them on and I am set!

WOOT!

Glad its running again, how does it feel are your other issues fixed. I'll be up there Saturday with my new toy. You can bring it down to PC to put some more miles on it and I can check it out.

If you nail a 10 on DR I will shit myself right in the stands! lol.

Me... I have taken a LONG 4 year break from the track while in college. Hoping to get back into it but I know I'll be rusty as all hell. Gonna be out on slicks for the 1st time...

Does Sac still have a scale? I need to weigh this pig and see where I stand.

In that case you might want to add a set of Depends to you list of things to bring to the track. [Eek!]

This time around I wan't even at the track at all while my car was down. So now with it running again it feel extra fast [Razz] Anyway, I'm sure I'll be plenty rusty myself.

Oh yeah, and Sac does have a few scales now. If they are open or not, that is the question.

Small stuff. Electric water pump, standard volume oil pump, slightly larger cam, fixed the distributer and cam gears eating eachother and HOPEFULLY the car will now rev past 6400 so I can shift it where I should be. Also lost about 50 lbs out of the car.

I've gone a best of 1.65 on my BFG's with a hand full of 1.67 and 1.68's. I think they are working just fine for a 35 series sidewall [Wink]
 
Posted by 66 AC COBRA (Member # 904) on :

i hope for that kinda 60' with my slicks [Frown] , hopefully about 13 more mph though [burnout]

What did you lose that took 50 lbs off? I guess i missed that part. Damn you...ill never catch up [Razz]
Don't worry Rhett....he gained at least 20lbs back.....he works on a different kind of 'six pack' these days. [Wink]

Ahhh yes. Well, seeing as I can't race the car every week like I use to, I needed a new hobby [Razz]

Damn I remember the goal of 10's on Drag Radials, close but no cigar for me. With the setup you have Drew I think you got that bitch on lock. Good Luck and get someone to Video the runs so I can watch!!!

Your hoping for 10's on DR's with an N/A 347?
Why not add a small shot to that baby just as you grab second gear? Oh lets say 125 shot of NX!! [worship]

Then grab some 10:50's on DR's!! [patriot]

By the way nice 60's on DR's!! Very impressive Bro. What is done to the suspension for traction purposes?

Thanks bro. The rear suspension had Wofle Racecraft lowers and an adjustable rear sway bar. The uppers where just Steeda pieces with poly bushings.

As for that 125 shot....

...well I'm thinking my block will not like that very much [Wink]
