yeah the reason why I let TJ make a pass was because Bud said the car kept lifting up on the launch, so I wanted him to do it so I could so how the car was reacting. It's the same setup (that's why the tires are old), but I swapped out the stock upper/lower control arms for UPR solid lowers and double adjustable uppers with spheical bushings. I also have an aluminum block which takes a lot of weight off the nose. Like I said the car should be 60'ing better than it did.

There's a Chevy Luv on a trailer in Chalmette sitting in a parking lot off 510. Looks like it already has a narrowed rear, big tires, and snorkel hood scoop.

Looks good from the road. I haven't stopped to see what they are asking, and what it includes. It'll be on the right shortly after you hit the 40 mph section.
