thanks for the compliments. I am still waiting for my parts. geoff at eps is a good guy and runs a good business but needs faster shipping, its been five weeks and its still not here. i called him 3 times and he keeps tellin me it will be here. well i guess it gives me more time to buy more parts!

 

parts came in and motor is being built.

 

ok its been along time since i posted anything, but the car is done! Im still in the breakin period and it runs pretty good but needs a dyno tune. My trannys 2nd gear is out and cant get it to shift hardly ever. the car has a stock 10bolt that lasted about 5 weeks before it broke 2 spider gears on the street. i know it was dumb but i went racing last nite at cordova il without a trailer and didnt fix the rearend. I was pretty happy with the results and made it home, but the rearend wines really bad.

Is your transmission built? If not you better look up D&D or Tranzilla or someone, also call Spec or McLeod and have a twin disk ordered up!

 

those are some pretty horrible times, but i bet you most of your shifting problems are the stock master cylender. if you didnt do the drill mod then thers no way your going to shift good and fast at high rpms.

your car has alot more in it you need to get those sixty foot times down but of coarse you need the new rear end first.

hopefully its not just the driver needing the mod

 

even after i did the drill mod my car still shifted bad, tick master is the way to go, that is the best part i think i have got for my car yet

 

nice car though, that intake looks great

 

with a stock rearend and a tranny where you cant shift it you cant exspect to much better im lookin at the mph hp to weight ratio the tranny has 200 k on it and is stock im going to rebuild it with performance parts and get a mwc rearend as soon as i can afford it.

 

alright its been along time since i post any progress on my car. i ran tonite at cordova dragway and made 7 passes and missed second on 6 of them. tranny sucks and needs a rebuild. but the good news i ran a 1.54 60ft 6.92 1/8 at 100.72mph and 10.83 1/4 at 128.03 mph. looks like its not so doggy after all ! only changes where v6 rear springs and a 100lbs takin out.


next season

drag bar
front coil overs
fast intake
new trans
e/t drags
1 7/8 headers
