Yeah, as Phil said, needs to be filled before any machine work is done.


We talked about doing the drag radials, but just have not pulled the string. It was one thing when it was just teh BFG's and it was a hit or miss hooking up, but now with that Mickey radial, that thing is a beast. On my ride, that is what I am gonna run.

I know what you mean on teh permits and such. I got lucky with my shop. Since it already had an office when I bought it, I did not have to worry about anything even though I completly redid it, I just "remodeled" it and did not "build" it from scratch, no permits needed.

Freakn taxes on everything man. I live in one county, and my shop is in another, and where my shop is, I have to pay taxes (among all of the others as well) on teh Communty College that is in that county

Phil, not as impressive as your turbo motor is but I got my pair of tiny turbos (60mm) for my D/R 70 Cutlass (beginner buildup)

Not looking to make any more than 600hp with my 383 (my conv makes that n/a lol)

On topic and off topic....anyone know of the 6 sec drag radial Mustang? I saw some video of it yesterday for teh first time. Went a 7.0x @ 203 and then came back and went 6.9x @ 20x. The video I think was from January, so I may be a bit out of teh loop....so, anyone care to share if they know about it? Combo? Phil, you know of it?

Well, when I last competed competively in '98, I pretty much stopped keeping up with who's who. When I started building cars again @ 1 1/2 years ago, since I was not competing, I had no desire to keep up with the guys again still. And, at this point, which I am getting closer to hitting the track, I still find myself not really interested in teh cars. I just saw the 6 sec pass on radials, and was like wow, cool, wonder what he was running. So I asked. Now, I do read up on our site, and this section, and teh fastest 6 speed list, but that's it. Currently Yellow Bullet has nothing for me though. Thanks though Fenton anyways.

We're hoping it goes 200 on the same tuneup and somewhere 205-215 with the turbo turned up.
