Default Launch Video

Here is a vid of our car launching this weekend. It looks like the days of the big wheelies are over.... (hopefully) If you notice the car falling on it's face about half track, it's because we found out that a powerglide will not pull at all in neutral, but a 5.6x in 1st gear still isn't that bad.

Nope the headers are hookers that we slightly modify to fit these cars with the BBC. We do have a glide in the car with 3.73's in the rear. It's a very fun setup, because it is a pump gas motor. You can cruise the street, playing with people at the stop lights, then drive it across town to the track, put in 114, and kick most anyone' azz. Now that we have the suspension lined out were pulling the 540 out, putting it on a motor stand, and selling it. We are planning a very nasty blown setup to replace it....

some pictures here: http://teamprickracing.com/95z

It didn't take 5 days to build the car, but we did get it done in about 3 weeks after we accumulated all the parts.. that's from a BONE stock car to what you see here.


Hooker part number 2455 will work if you move a couple tubes.. it isn't toooooo bad..
