Found out the car had only been running on 4 cylinders... Fixed that problem. Slowly been getting all the wiring sorted and put away. Got the few little missing pieces now so I should be able to have it move under its own power this week with a dyno tune in the next few weeks hopefully.

Made this front support cover out of a sheet of carbon fiber. The part next to the nose fits like stock and will be drilling a couple holes in the rear and some stainless arp hardware. Soon...

Drove the car for the first time in 3 years! Although not very far I was still able to drive it into the show we had this weekend and then took my wife and son around the block in the IROC. I will post the Video soon..






Wife in tears seeing the car move on its own power for the first time in years. Yep married the right one. LOL.

Nice build and you should be proud of your work. That generation is sometimes overlooked. I think they will come back around. Cheap to buy and easy to swap. Awsome car.

Pics from taking it to Holley LS Fest where it was in the HP Tuners booth.





On the Dyno at 15PSI we made shy of 800HP damn near spinning the car off the dyno. Planned to turn it up to 25psi but we ran out of gas... Literally. Probably won't get it back on the dyno again till beginning of next year and thinking of going Holley Dominator anyway.
