im gonna give it a go at least once or twice. couldnt get the new clutch in due to the bell housing flange bolts wouldnt even budge with an impact. will have to get an earlier start on it again perhaps saturday morning and see if i can get in there. i couldnt even impact em off. i think they are locktited which will really suck!!!

I ended up going on Saturday. Made 4 runs, best run was 13.4 @ 98. Could always go out to the Phenix City track. its not the best/cheapest, but it is close.
