Default Going for 8's !!!!

This year we are going for 8's. The owner of the car is Charlie Vincel of St. Louis, MO. The car is a 2002 Z28. We switched to a carb instead of EFI. The fastest time previously was a 9.43 before the carb. All of the fabrication was done by Dan Schell at Race Cars LLC. We will see you all at the LSX Shoot out.

Yes when you order a kit from Wilson Manifold they heat shrink all the wires and run them all into a weather connector.
