Well the car definitely has a different look with these on it:

A little more aggressive than I would like, but they do look good. Rears should be here next week.

Weather finally cooperated for a minute!

Was about 88*F, humid and nasty. Didn't get a clean A to B pass but got a lot of data for improvements.

$54 uhaul ftw:

Tons of interest in the car:

Staging lane announcer asked if Grandma knew I stole her car:

Last pass I made; spun after the hit, let out of the throttle for a full second, jabbed it back down, let it eat:

Need some suspension work and adjust the boost ramp and I’ve got a real monster! 🤩

Pulled the axles (35 spline beef cakes) to add the 3” wheel studs:

Easy job:

Looks serious:

Added 1/4” spacer for final clearance:

Next project is getting the rear pinion angle right; I think this is the source of my vibration at 60+ mph:

Going to order some adjustable upper control arms and get it right!
