Nice man. I hate having to measure stretch on bolts. Hopefully it works out well.

They gave me a range of tq not to surpass and recommended to get within .001 of the recommended stretch. So found the sweet spot with cm3 lube for .005 on all 8. Those 145 Bolts take some torque!

That amount of separation in the rear and still carrying the front tires off the ground. That's insane!!

I used to run a 15-45 ptc but this trans has less converter charge pressure so I went o a 14-45.

No prepping for the next 3-4 weeks. I have a few water burnout only on bare surface races. So getting ready for that. More difficult with last year now that I have so much nose percent compared to last year.

I ratched strapped two crankshafts around the cage. Borrowed 90 pounds of dog food from my dog. Bought some cheap 40lb bags of bird seed. Added 315 pounds to it to get it to go down.

Thats hilarious. I won a race one time in my 02 SS with 250 lbs of top soil in the trunk. Wife and I had a good laugh over that one.

This car is just flat out impressive! Nicely done. Are you still using the Frozen Boost IC or did you upgrade to something different?
