Rear spring isolator removed with a 28" tire. Lips are not rolled yet, but should be. I have to do it before I drive the car.

Don't worry about 60' times with a stick worry about your 330' times.

So what's the latest progress...
I'm hoping mine will be running in the next few weeks, but who knows, the devil is in the details

Well, the car is just about ready, minus the driveshaft. Once that's built, I need to drive it around to get some miles on the new trans/rear end, and it will be ready for dyno time.

No ya don't.. one heat cycle and that's it. Drive the car to the dyno, let it cool off when you get there, tune the car and when you get home change the rear end and tranny fluids, change the oil and go make some passes.

I don't know if my transmission would like a 4 hour drive to the dyno lol. Your old converter and 4.10 gears on the highway wouldnt be fun. My guy at ATI said make sure it has some miles on it before it sees any type of RPM

Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

Well, drive it around the block a few times and call it a day and trailer the car to the dyno.

You do not want to take a 4 hour highway trip with that converter and gearing... because what used to take 4 hours is gonna take 6 now LOL

This ain't my first rodeo, I'm not retarded lol. I doubt the car will EVER see the highway. I don't street drive it much. But in answer to your question, I'm not sure if he dynoed it or not, he just said be easy on it for a couple miles before ripping on it.

No huge updates, but the driveshaft is on the way. New 15x10 Weldstar R/T rear wheels and 325 drag radials are here, still waiting on the 17x4 fronts to show up. Once the driveshaft is in and the wheels are on, it will go down for the tune, and then to the track!
