Default Grocerygetter part #4 *autocross* !!
Car is at the point were I can't take it much farther with the fuel system.....10.5 sec 1/4 mile on 12 psi...that's fine for a driver..so I decided to fix a few paint spots and fix the brakes so I could spool up. I ended up 2 toning the top black. Added a hydroboost system from an astro van. Car stops on a dime now with the rear ls1 disk brakes.

This car was some of the inspiration for my 84 C-10 build shooting for 10s...

5 shortblocks worth of issues, finally gave up on that dream I just haven't had good luck like a lot of guys.
