Defintely looking good. How many sets of wheels have you had on this car again? I see Trigger ain't far behind in the "Rim/Wheel of the Month" club. You guys are almost making me want to weight redux my car.

Thanks Reject!

Trevor, man I lost count a while ago. If I had to guess, I'd say in the last year, I've had 6 or 7 diff wheel & tire combos. Trigger is getting up there in there too, somehow my car always ends up with HIS tires on it, and his car ends up with MY rims on it. "Hey bro, let me borrow your draglites!" "Sure thing man, can I get those 325s for the weekend?" Its a Ohio thing haha. We need to get you on some slicks and skinnies!!!!!

Im in the exact same boat as you man, 19 years old, limited funds, and going for the cam only list. Mines not going to be a full racecar like yours, but pretty close with the exeption of mine having over drive and no cage. But as long as your tune is on and you get the suspension, with a 5,100 converter @ 3400 lbs raceweight you should make the list no problem.

I really dig the car looks awsome, 5100 stall converter maybe a lil overkill for the cam only swap done to it?

Im building the chassis/drivetrain for the future. I think it will be alright with the cam I am using though. Thanks for the compliments!

New shifter is in. Now I need to figure out this Neutral Safety bullshit so it starts. I know there is a write up somewhere on the wiring changes for a th350 swap.

You need to get rid of the whole E brake system. That's around 12 lbs you'll drop. A 5100 will work with that cam. I plan on running a 5200 when it gets here in the LS1 H/C combo I'm building for my 93.

Car ran today for the first time in quite a while! It was nice to hear it run again. It will be even nicer when it will move under its own power!
