Getting close to start up. It's been a long road. Got all the sensors talking to the computer finally. Checked for fuel leaks and had a few very small ones. I need to throw some water in it and fire it up the next couple of days once I go front to back and triple check everything.

I usually check in about once a year.

Car ran in the 5.72 range for the past couple years. Still has the same motor, but I'm revamping the car. Switching to holley dominator, and a dart based 388 with a forced induction 88/100.

Hopefully run some low 8s.

Car is back together. Has a mike lough dart 388, brodix br1 13 245s in it now, dominator, 7.0 fuel pump etc. Going to be a fun year i hope. Next on the list is to actually mini tub the car and get it in some 15x12 and some 8 inch travel front struts.
