Randy cut an .000 light first pass with the suspension changes and was given a momento for doing so.
The car slowed down the with the gear change. Going to have to make some decisions over the winter on which direction to go with.
*Keep current 243 heads, LS6 intake manifold, change rear gear to what works well and be a consistant 11.7 car.
Or
*Replace intake and heads to pick up some hp/tq.
Or
*Replace entire engine with LS3 based 416.
The car is put away, till I make a decision on which direction to go.
I need to see what the car is doing to learn setup and my plans (dream)for the future are bigger than what you see. It will be a team effort.

Why not drive your own car?

After seeing Johns video of oil pressure drop on launch, I decided to install the baffles.
Spent the day fabbing brackets for a motor support, so I can lower the K member, drop the pan and install the Improved Racing Trap door baffles.
Bolted to the heads and have pads welded on them so they can set on the frame rails.
k member dropped and pan slipped out.
Comparison
Installed in to pan
All buttoned up.

nice work on the temp mounts.
That improved baffle fits really good. The front touches the pan a little perfect to seal it up so it stops oil from pouring out into the front on heavy braking. The moroso has a long over hang baffle on the lower front area, over the rear deep sump, that dose the same thing, maybe better but the pickup is in the back behind the tray door farther way so it need to be better.
The trap doors seals good to, better them my moroso one dose. If anything the rear baffle up the back of my moroso is fit with about a .08 gap, and welded in a few spots for the corners are still open. On final wash I noticed the oil went right thu the open corners of the baffle up the back of the pan pretty easy. Like you count 1-2-3 and its pouring thu the open corners and over the back of the pan out, faster then the baffle is keeping oil in the pan tipping it back. Next time I have the pan off I'm gona weld them up fully.

More parts came in.
Wideband:
3rd member case. Saving for pinion support, spool and yoke. Having a second third member will be nice. If I have to do a gear change, in and out quickly.

Wired in second OB2 port:

Just finished up a rear gear change. Went from 4.71 to 3.89, now to 4.30.
Also have the car set up to tune with EFI live
Made some tooling to hold the case and a spanner wrench.
This is my first time setting up a 9" and it is quiet as church mouse.
With this gear set, I am shooting for 11.50 because I don't have the roll bar installed.
