The floor is getting tunnels for the exhaust to run thru. Hopefully he wont be making 10 sec passes so they shouldnt get too hot.

Sweet, you guys should like it down there. That's a good track and they bring some pretty big cars. I'll have to stop by when you get up and running.

Well the hideous scoop (as you call it) worked so maybe the next one will be worse.

I love the dzus mount rail for the hood. I need one for each side. Great idea. Looks like I'll be fabbing one up for myself. I've seen what happens when you mount your dzus fasteners to the fenders. The hood goes up... up... up... and comes down... crash!

to see over big scoops on our big prostock scooped 98 camaro we put a rearview mirror in with another mirror beside our head facing the rearview mirrow.... then we could look at the tree through the rearview mirror.... being in the left lane was just as easy to see as the right after that mod...

something to think about and not hard to see the tree either...

i love a 3 stage kit.... makes the the first 1.1 seconds very interresting.... what tranny are you using? my friend has the patten on a clutch surface that all the promod guys use.... let me know if you want a phone number..

This is going to be a huge learning experience for him. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and just let him learn to just point and shoot.
