Default some progress pics and lots of pics

Finally got done puttin the cam in and heres where i am. Cam only lt1. LTs with bullets dumped off headers, all new valvetrain for the cam, 58mm, all new ing., madz28.com tune. Did everything first besides the motor/rearend first. Got welded in SFC, full suspension with qa1s up front UMI TA, behind bars race cars panhard bar, eibach drag springs w/ air bag, bigger swaybar. Then gears in the 10bolt with a TA girdle (well see how long that lasts), aluminum driveshaft, FLT level4 trans and a 3200 vig converter, fully gutted everything off motor/interior/engine bay. bought the car about a year and a half ago and bein a work in progress ever since. Its a '94 with just 100k on it. Its been garage kept its whole life so its 8 steps beyond mint. My buddys '02 TA has more rust underneth it then mine, lol. Cars take a while to build ill tell ya. So from here i start thinkin about the motor to build then a 12bolt. Its been a long road to get to this point but im happy with it so far......

Make some passes and let us know how it rolls out. What rear sway bar are you running?

I just missed the tens last night because the track was loose, too much oil down the track. Then rolled around for another pass and the rearend said no more!

yea the front is lower. I got 275# springs on the qa1's so there a bit soft. As for the swaybar, its off my iroc i had. So with thoes cars it had better handling so its a 24mm swaybar instead of stock 17mm i think. It was a lot bigger compared to the stocker.

looks and sounds good

The 3200/3.73 seams a bit off for max potential though with the combo. I would think the car would leave lazy, but I could be wrong.

get it to the track and lets hear some #'s

yea i hear ya about the combo but i plan on hittin it with a 150 out of the hole so i didnt want to flash my converter too high and then run outta gear on the big end. But this is my first drag car im building so theres still a lot to learn. And you guys did my rearend Larry and you said you guys run 3.73s in my car so now your stuck with helpin me out, lol. Just kidding. I got new lifters/pushrods comming so i gotta replace them and hopefully that gets rid of my ticking problem.
