It was a pleasure helping you out on your quest for a GN. #4 needed a new home (HEATED GARAGE :cool:) and an owner who will appreciate it!! Maybe some of that fast will rub off the Vette onto it!! Have fun with it!!

It can be welded on top of the frame. I planned on it to go through the hole so I can tip it forward to weld the top bars.
Thanks!!! The S&W kit was easy to fab up too!! Pilot holes in the floor then to the frame made cutting floor easy as well. I used a 1 3/4" holesaw to cut the floor/frame and it slid right in!!
I use M8x1.25, 25mm (1 inch) long. I use a 8mm x 24mm flat washer. Not that the bolt will pull through the 1/4" steel flat, I open the holes in the loop to accommodate the differences due to flex and age of the floorpans!
I am running out of local tracks...banned at 3 so far!!! :redface: I hope to get to a track Saturday to see if I can drop a tenth :wink: and then I have to back it down so I can compete in the MAGNA Points Series race November 23 at Atco Raceway, New Jersey!!! It's real consistant doing 11.6's!!!
I drive into the staging beams at about 1500rpm. As the tree comes down I raise the rpm to 3000, about 10lbs boost. On the last yellow I mash the accelerator to the floor. As last yellow is going out I dump the brake and it blasts off at 4600rpm...24lbs boost!!!
HAPPY ain't the word I'd use to describe these runs!!! Thanks again Pauly!!! On the second run, it left so hard my eyes were rattling!!! :D When they came back into view I heard the loud pop and had visions of pistons and connecting rods hanging out of the block!!! After checking it out Pauly...
