Really, none of the cars needed to be trailered. They just tow'em strictly for "insurance" purposes...... They're insuring a ride home There's no such thing as 'taking it easy' for these guys, 'specially when they're on a sticky tire.

This is about the truth right here!! haha IT's a 2 hour drive to the track and anything could happen even with a brand new car, plus when you already have a truck and a trailer why not use it?

As far as videos there is 3 of my car (not on my camera) and all the videos on my camera I can't put on the computer b/c my cable got lost.... We will get everything together soon enough and have em posted up.

Thanks everyone for the congrats. Now it's time to replace my blown shocks in the rear and get some control arms, tubular K-member, and some aluminum heads and other goodies!!

congrats on the new PB!

the superior 1/4 mile hypothesis guru Morbid Intentions STRIKES AGAIN!


I say throw some 75 jets on there if you can... I'd like to see your setup run deep into the low 12's, considering your race weight a 75 shot should do that trick

Yea you did good on that guess!! haha I'd LOVE to put the bottle on there but if I started at a 75 it would end up at 150-175 very quickly and I'd be going through bottle like no other lol

By the end of next year I'd like to have it boosted either on a vortech or turbo'd.... Time will tell.

I'm very impressed. Like its already been said, for the mod's the car has, you must be driving the wheels of the thing. I assume you are powershifting it too?

^^^ The boy shifts so fast it sounds like a dam* auto going up the road. Definately no-lift-shift. I know you were pretty skeptical 302, and I can't really blame ya. But anything this boy gets behind the wheel of, he drives his *** off. He even pulled .2 better in my old car then I ever could.............his FIRST time behind the wheel of the car, lol.

well I can understand someone driving well.

I was skeptical at first because 99.9% of people with his set up runs mid 13's. Hell, im one of them, I granny shift like a SOB. I'm to scared to break **** to really shift hard. I give it hell off the line, but I always shift slow as hell afraid to break the trans.

it will be interesting to see the future of the car.

Thanks man!! Everyone around my area has been extremely impressed as well with how it runs, and everyone talks about how I just drive my a$$ off this that and the other. I'm scared I'll break something but I'll just get it fixed and probably upgrade the stuff when I do fix it so no biggie.... I know half the cars I drive if you don't yank the gears hard they just feel like they don't run worth a damn lol.
