It was cool yesterday to see all the work you have done on this so far Chad. Let us know how she does at the track. I guess that means you got your new shifter installed last night.

No, I'm going to do it tonight. I'm going to go ahead and put the stereo in, finish the interior and do the shifter tonight.

Since i did not get head gaskets for a friends car this weekend I ended up spending some time on the Coupe.

Installed some new gauges and got a few shot of the interior since I did not have any....










Got the Nitrous hooked up. I still need to install the purge line and here are some shots with the new motor:

Why do these motors look like they belong there?

looking good man, I like the gauges.

Are you still planning on going to Navasota with the car this weekend?

I will be out there if the forecast allows.

Yes, Pro Stars with 26x8.5 tires in the rear. I usually leave my daily wheels for the fronts but for this event I'm going to put the runners on the car.

Here is a video from a few weeks ago at baytown. This was all motor, I will spray it this weekend at NAvasota. The scales were still broke so no weight yet. Yes this is all motor, the nitrous is not even on the car yet...

The car was moving around a lot on the big end so the second pass I let out around the 1000' area. I only made 2 passes, I have a few things we are going to change on the tune and I will be back again.

15k is the lowest I will take for it with the LS3. I really don't even want to sell the car but I will. I listed it on YellowBullet for 20k just to do it and I actually have a few people interested in it. LOL
