Vette's doing well. Was gonna start it over weekend but had a fuel line leak. I'm kinda new at making my own lines so since I had the leak I went ahead and ordered a hose pressure test kit just to be safe and go over my work.
thx for asking and congrats again!

that track was not hooking all that well. I am sure he could go lower if it was prepped better. It may have been the street cars that were hurting the track not sure

Maybe but I don't think Franks car ever really 60'ed that well before.
If he could get it in the low 1.3, high 1.2 range I think that would be a very consistant 8 second car.
I know the car is a little heavy and has the IRS. Car is nice though, not cut up or stripped down too much. Could drive it around town if he wanted-car shows. Hooters. Right Frank?
