Well I finally managed to get the interior just about wrapped up. Just gotta bolt in harness and that part will be good to go. Then I need 2 plugs for my fans. Gonna weld in the arb this weekend and maybe get a little street tuning in as well.

Alright guys, I've been busy doing a bunch of stuff lately. Finally been making some passes at the track on it. 1/8th mile it's at a 7.20 right now. Trans started slipping on the next pass and that would have been in the 6s judging the 60ft and boost being turned up. I'm going to leave a link at the bottom for the 7.2 pass. And I know thats not extremely fast but for a street car its ungodly lol. Havent done much to the car since I've last posted. I fixed a broken injector plug and got all 8 back firing. Was hard to hear a miss with the new cam. But you live and you learn.


 
That is probably a mid to low 11 - not too shabby.
 
Alright guys made it to the track again last night. Getting faster still but transmission isnt liking me turning up the boost/timing so it slowed down some. Cracked off a 7.09 last night with my best 60ft of 1.57. But anyway making moves as we speak to get the transmission where it needs to be. I'm going to post a link to youtube from one pass last night. Think it was a 7.38 pass maybe. Just working some bugs out but trying to hit the 6s this season if possible.
