Pirelli had us use up a set of trofeo R tires for photo shoot at a local drag strip. If you work in the motorcycle industry you'll see the shots in the 2016 street catalog for Tucker Rocky / Bikers choice. It was really an honor to have some one use the car for a publication.

Great update, less the biker incident. Like you said, small hiccups are to be expected at this power level with "spirited driving". It only means it will be rebuilt better next time
. I'm curious what power steering pulley you ended up using? Cause it looks like it might be a better fit than the one I'm currently running.
Pretty cool to see the car get some ink! Congrats

Thanks man, I found the pulley digging thru cores at a junk yard, i grabbed 4 of them, one was plastic and three were steel. So far the steel pulley has been perfect. I'll never use a plastic piece again!

I forgot to post the seats, I recently took the seats out of the car with idea of rebuilding them with better bolsters and simple design. After talking with Pedro at Pg auto Upholstorey I knew he was the guy for the job. Pics->

Still need to finish door panels and small stuff but I'm happy to have decent seat, they made all the difference on the autocross at goodguys.

Wow this thread needs an update!! Since the seat upgrade we did some autox at goodguys, that was a blast! the car is a beast with the blower on it and the cam I spec'd brings on the torque way down low. You really have to watch it getting on the power. I spun out more than once, the officials didn't like it but I was having fun!!

I was gaining ground like I was cool and BOOM something let go and antifreeze blew up on the windshield.... We pull to take a look, the dorman plastic pulley that clears the steering box exploded and took out the belt and glass radiator hose I found in the junk yard...

After the pulley fiasco, I get all that fixed and came up with the perfect pulley made of steel for steering box clearance in abody's. After we get the car back together we start prepping for the "Wanna Go Fast" 1/2 mile shootout. Do some more tuning and make adjustments for long full throttle pulls. Since I only have lap belts in the car, it was freaking me out a little to really push the car, so I thought up a cool way to have a removable harness bar. It worked out great and I managed just over 146 mph in the standing half mile. I really wanted 150 mph but first and second gear had NO traction, but lesson learned, I'll have drag radials for next time.

Looks like loads of fun on the autocross course trying to keep all that low end tq hooked up lol. Blower whine/whistle sounds awesome in the vids!
The standing half mile event sounds like it would be a lot of fun too, wish they had something like that around Idaho.

Great. Seats. They compliments the rest of the car nicely. Who's the hottie up close?

Nothing has changed as far as accessories yet. I'm still researching availability of a sc pulley that will work with the ctsv blower pulley offset. BUT I have ordered the modified FEAD from Chevrolet, fingers crossed I find the pulley I need.. or can have it made for a reasonable cost.

Just curious how you changed from chrome bumpers to painted? I'm redoing a 71 Cutlass Supreme and don't want the chrome. I've read anywhere to having them stripped at chrome shop, to grinding off the chrome starting with 36 grit to just scuffing and shooting with epoxy primer.

The week before powertour we called up Detailingarage.com to take care of some paint correction and prep the car for decals. This years adventures were amazing to say the least. With the Tvs 2300 Magnuson supercharger, new heads, cam combo we knew it was time to get serious about a clutch that could take the abuse. Lucky for us, Centerforce clutch has their DYAD offering capable of holding 1300 ft-lbs of torque. Rather than pulling one from inventory, we called Centerforce to discuss what the car is and its purpose. Thankfully, after some details were discussed. Will Baty (the Centerforce guru) made adjustments to a custom DYAD and had it on the way to our shop. Here are some detail and clutch install pics.

The Ls7 was ok, but after two to three hard pulls it would let go under boost.
the material itself looked ok but the flywheel/pressure plate told another story

So we started the clutch install Thursday morning, it was a blessing we got started early because we found a crack on the tail housing of our T56, which explains the small bit of fluid on the cross member. That set us into a rush to get it fixed, we were scheduled to leave for Gonzales, LA early the next morning.. Thankfully my good friend Jason at Texas Drivetrain Performance isn't far from our shop. I gave him a call and we were on our way to his shop for a last minute T56 refresh!!

We wrestled the T56 back into the car, after some choice words and few beers, we had everything together and ready to break-in. It was late, but victory was ours!

The following morning we met several people at Buccee's on our way LA. The chevelle isn't very happy at 60-65 mph, so I teamed up with Gregg from continental tire in his brand new ATS-V cadillac. We ran 80-85mph all the way to Gonzales, with only a few stops for fuel and photo ops.

Some quick math says we averaged 17.3 mpg on this stretch. I'm more than happy with that since we ran it hard here and there. I mean.. It is open road! So why not?!
