down pipe done
Well after lots of thinking and reading and talking. I think the small down pipe has been contributing to my head gasket loss. SO here it is it is my first down pipe and I am pretty happy with the way it worked out. the old one was 3in and the new is 3.5 dont sound like much but there is a huge difference in them and the HP they can support I can make a 1000 hp with the 3.5 and 306 cid so that will be the last I will need for that reason do to the fact I will not ever make that with this set up cause I just dont want to. I am hoping the change alone is enough to roll me over into the 9s with still no trans brake and still only 1.70 60 fts LOL. it was no real fun making and I got it to snake under the turbo header and pass the steering shaft and didnt even have to dimple it for clearance. sweet, now just for the paint. Heads are at the shop getting milled now and I hope to have it running in the next 2 weeks.

Did he not need the boost a pump? or did you pick up on one? has he got that thing dynoed yet? I am also putting a Crane Hi 6 ignition on the car this year so that will help some also. Mike you know that they car show has moved out to the home depot this year but now they are saying there will be 2 show the cone zone is gone to start there own show this year also. They said Golds is bitching so we will see.

Mike, I will be hitting both shows if I can. Hurt my back yesterday and I cant half move so lets hope it passes quick. My machinist hung me from the roof of the shop on a hoist from my feet for a few mins. felt real good at that time but later that night the pain came back it seems to be the worst I have had in years. So who knows.
