Ft smith boys....

I may bring my red 5.0 down if the weather looks ok....

I changed gears for 1/8 mile last year,I'm not sure if that stock bottom end will like turning the extra 1,200 rpms for a 1000' pass...

It wont be the fastest...But it wont be the slowest....Maybe we can give Robbie a good run, hahahaha..

Well its not a cheap fix. I broke a CV axle on pass side, broke the rearend case, and 2 teeth are gone off the ring gear. The gears were 4.10's and I don't have another 4.10 gear set. I do have a 3.42 gear set so I guess I will be running those. Looks like I will be running SLOW times. I bet I will be able to run the 1000ft in the first three gears.

2 step = a broke *** Vette

I may have to dig a little deep in my bag of tricks to keep up with you guys.

I did get it fixed but right at the last minute I found another problem. I cracked the bell housing on the front of the torque tube. I was going to run it anyway but the fact is its broke and needs to be replaced. I found out the hard way that a triple disk, 28'' slick and a 2 step is a no no in a vette. lol

I pulled the front cap and replaced my burnt up nitrous controller. I now have 2 stages of spray. I had a progressive controller to install but I was going to have to rewire the entire thing to use it. I decided to use the same thing I had before to make things easy. I can purge in the burnout box with the over ride buttons, lock out any stage, any gears, and I have LED's to tell me when a stage is active.

I had a fuel pressure issue with the dedicated but now solved with a new fuel pressure diaphram.

Things should get interesting if she will hold together.

Pinks is right around the corner
