"The Wagon" 8.96@155

I've been tuning this the last 2 years. I also wired it and built the hot and cold side.

408, Martin Cam, 317's forged and all that stuff.

I've no idea how to embed these photos.

But it's a very cool car, driven to and from the track.

Take the wagon and drop the kids off at school. That's some car. There's a tutorial on how to post full size images on this site.

G body wagons are pretty popular now-back when they weren't cool, a buddy had one with a SB, lots of nitrous, he would carry the wheels every pass, ran 10's, which was fast then. He hurt some feelings

Thanks Vince. Every time we make it go faster we uncover a new weak link. Now it's the fuel system. That run was 24 psi and it went lean. Thank god for E85.
we are also fighting a voltage loss at full throttle that contributes to the lean condition.

No birkensocks for us car guys!
