Default 408 is in, and almost ready to start
It's really close, if my new Kooks get here early next week, maybe by the weekend... Anyway, then I am coming for the Vettes on the list, and after that, if I still have a drive train, we shall see. Man this hobby is expensive.
Not to much to look at right now, but never have been much of a bling guy. It does have all the good stuff internally and that's what counts when seeking fast times. See you guys at the track real soon.

That's awesome to hear Robert! Good luck in getting it running/tuned in time to make some serious damage on the lists.

Likely low 10's for awhile, then will go for the 9.xx.

Some coil packs and a throttle body would be nice too, but maybe he tossed them to save weight?
