Plans for the beast
Plans for the beast Well the car is done for the year. Waiting for the title to come in (went to the DMV today) and also will have my plate come in in April.
I wanted RED ALRT or 1BADZ28 but they were both taken so I got
1SICKZ
Car is going to Burkhart Chassis around March or April we are thinking. Car will be legal to 8.50's and cut 1.2X-1.3 60's I am thinking (they said no problem to 1.3's on my 8.5 wide tire!)
Keeping the GM aluminum heads and having them and the Strip Dominator intake ported my a Pro Stock builder/porter. Having the BG carb sent back to BG to get re-blueprinted/built.
Going from a two stage to a single stage and hit the car out of the hole on like a 275 shot, electric water pump, better air filter set-up. If money allows I am going from the two Holley blue fuel pumps (seperate systems) to a single large pump and T-brake it before it goes back out. Dyno tune it at EPP also.
Based on what the car has run I am thinking it should run 8.8-8.9 on the bottle. We will see. If not at least BOTTOM 9's then something is wrong!
Not bad for a 468 BBC with GM aluminum heads.

A three hour drive is not what I call a long hall hahaha.
I think I am going to get the motor work done here pretty quick since I am not going to be able to get an opening over there for a while.
My buddy has an F-250 with an enclosed trailer and I think a winch in it so I might send the car to them engine/tranny less.

I just never realized how well-known Burkhart is. I guess they have an office in Decatur...probably a shop there too. I have only been to his house in Harristown....which is where I thought ALL of his work was done. I imagine he has another shop in Decatur.

LT1 style T56 are the ones I've heard work. I'm not sure about the bellhousing and quite a few companies make clutches for that application.
Fast cars with manuals don't mix.
Im helping a buddy build his Supra AGAIN, like a T-80 dual ball bearing turbo, everything ported and aftermarket intake, stage 3 cams, TH-400.
Going to have like 1,000 crank hp. On his last Turbo wich was a 72 I think and less port work on the heads it made more power sooner then any other Supra.
Him and I should be a good race.
People I have seen in f-bodies and stangs with other 500hp and sticks allways loose it seems from a dig. Every now and then they win.
Now if you only do roll racing then go for it.
