Thumbs up not sure why, but im working on my car???

i pulled the hole fuel system out, stand alone and regular tank, we made a template up for my new tank, and Vinny is putting it into a blue print so we can get it in the making, i ordered all my new lines and fittings (should look sick, i went a different style then most) i mounted my fuel pump last night and started to rewire it, i am picking up all my lines today so i can get a start on mounting the filter, running the lines to the rails, etc.
Also spoke to TEA, they are sending me a head so i can test fit it and get all my messurements to see if we can make them work on my car, if they will work and i can keep my compression, im guessing atleast 30-50 HP increase over my out of the box afr's.
i also ordered my new 2" kooks today. wheelie bars are in the making, and if the head works out, 2-3 weeks i will have them and hopefully be ready to run by april.

im accually very exited to race this year. i was thinking of pulling the motor apart and ring/bearing it, but i realy dont want to, again, im looking to have fun, so i guess i just need to hope its in good shape from last year. from what i can see it looks good, and seemed to be running great. hope she is ready for the task this year

Drive an hour north into VT or NH and you'll find lots of it. I've still got snowbanks in my front yard taller than my truck.
