What did you do with the dipstick since both pans do not come with a dipstick provision?

Looks like your tire is rubbing the quarter. I now have a new back ground for the computer in the first one! Looks Awesome Chris!
The guy in the Nova had to be thinking WTF!!!!

Congrats on getting into the 8's! You are absolutely punishing those Hoosiers. Love it.

Can you post an engine bay shot showing off those headers and your intake setup?

I liked how you worked that '66 Nova with tubs/hood scoop. Gotta love modern technology with turbo cars and your superior aerodynamics!

What does your cooling system consist of and do you drive it on the street? I'm curious because I see how close the turbo is and all I see are those tiny fans.

Griffin rad and 2 10" fans, works good on the street. Before I braced the the rad, the turbo actually rubbed a hole in the radiator. I Patched it and braced it, seems ok now. There is like .030" clearance to the compressor housing.

I have a box of 7's sitting here, I should have put them in. They might have helped.
I pulled the heads yesterday, and it had been detonating and that is what lifted the heads. Going to have to check it further to see if I need new pistons, but the heads are going to have to be cleaned up. Not bad, but not what I wanted to see.
Way too much timing for the quarter mile.
