Thanks for posting the pics guys! We're going to fix the few things we bent up when it wheelied and we'll be back out for the race on the 19th. Hope to get it to mile an hour like it should now that we figured out the ignition problem (loose rotor does wonders for phasing!) and get it into the 5.30's and then start chipping away from there.

JHO, What was the final weight?

right at 3300lb with me in it. We ended up hanging 100lbs in the rear bumper, but it seemed to like it

New setup should be 1600 to 1700 HP[/QUOTE]

68 Drop Top ....what was your feelings/opinions about running a "Blow thru " on you first set up ?

We ran a few cars with blow through setups and had very good luck. The big deal is really the fine tuning you can do with stand alone fuel injection vs. blow thru carbs. Tim puts it like this: "A carb is like a two year old, it just can't tell you what's wrong. Fuel injection can tell you what's wrong."

Car is super clean. It has just about if not perfect tire separation. How did you get the car to 3300 lbs with driver ?

Fiberglass hood, no inner fenders, trz tubular a-arms, wilwood brakes, rack, weld magnum wheels, aluminum block sb2.2 engine, kirkey seats, cut off front of frame horns from in front of a-arms and removed core support (replaced with small diameter chromoly support, cut out center of cross member replaced w/ 1.5'' chromoly tube, took a chop saw to factory stereo and cut off all but about 1'' of the front (saved 4 lbs, but no tunes now!) etc.
We're actually racing at a little over 3400lbs now because the 275's seem to like some weight placed over them.
