Damn your car is flying, it gives me great inspiration to finish my new setup. By the way Xrambbc did you ever own a turbo Cavalier and did you used to be over at jbody.org?

haha yea a few people were asking that question, first the tires i just got off craigslist and they had been sitting for 2 years and seemed a little stiff so the first two burn outs i gave them a wake up call, and secondly the track had been getting rained on all day so i was just making sure it would hook up

but cant argue with 1.373 60's right?

i dont have a build thread but im going to start one right now because so many are asking. and they will be surprised how little of a set up it is.

as for keeping the magic happening, i tore this one down and built it back up making sure ALL was weel, checked all clearances, blue printed a new oil pump, checked deck surface, checked cylinder shape, the whole 9 yards to make sure if it was going to fail ill know when and where . . .
