Video of the above carnage - http://s258.photobucket.com/albums/h...urrent=027.flv

My install page at Car Domain is:

I weighed the car at a town transfer station and with a full tank of gas and no driver it weighed 3,400 lbs. Will weigh it again on at my home town transfer station (aka dump) and check the weight again.

Weather permitting I'm going to New England Dragway tonight and then it's going on the dyno on Saturday, was going to wait till I get all the info to post but have to share

Thanks go out to the boys over at NTB for taking the burn pictures / video. The place came to a hault and everyone had their camera phones out. By the time I was done, there was a huge pile of rubber / cords from the tires on the ground as the tires were fully dead and the drivers side pretty much only had cords showing.

That's my exact plan down the road. My mom had a 1975 Camaro and I grew up in that . My plan was to take a 75 and do exactly what you did. Very well done.

That is a swap I would love to do but it would take more funds than the woman or the bank will let me use. LOL

Nice car! Keep the picks and vids coming.

Thanks guys, my two year old and I will be going to the dyno on Saturday.
She'll be in her lil baby seat and I'll be on the other, she loves mini beat runs (aka first gear pulls). She says "Weeeee" and sports a big smile as I nail it

Awesome car man! I hope to see you at NED or a local car cruise sometime. I am in Framingham, MA and regularly go up that way to the track, hope to see you there!

Thanks guys,
Chevy94C - yes, the guys at Seabrook NH took the video / changed tires.

Uncle Dave - yes, 4L60E, not sure on the gas mileage as I still need to calibrate the speedo but that's not high on my list at the moment - estimate 20 mpg
