Default Ordered my Glide today...

The game is so on.. Ordered a Mike Hall built Ultraglide, and having a Coane Racing build me a custom converter strictly for nitrous.. Pro-Tree Brake, Billet Turbo Input shaft, etc... I cannot wait to get the car running. My dreams are hopefully becoming a reality.

Lynda and Clint, The motor has about 200 miles on it, the direct port is done and the intake is on the car, the headers are on, Mike is going to finish refabbing my Y-Pipe so it will allow the 3.5" Collectors to bolt up. I am waiting on the transmission, converter, and Throttle Body. I am thinking about swapping the Camaro Dash for a TA Dash and going to put all 2 5/8" gauges in the air vents. I have been sick since last sunday though, had a vent put in my ear drum yesterday hoping it would help, but when they opened the ear drum up what the Cat-scan showed to look like fluid was swollen tissue. So Im still down for the count. I honestly hope if the transmission gets in before next weekend that I will be able to get the car started and tuned. Then it will be time to go make some shake down passes. After I get that all situated its going back down to have a full SFI approved rollcage installed thats good for 8.5s and up. I cannot wait to get behind the wheel again..

I ended up changing the converter. I ordered a Neal Chance unit today. I was very impressed with the way my buddies car runs with his.

Those are the two companies I considered when buying my converter. Either will do the job very well and I'm sure your car will fly.
