Yes Steve I weighed the car on Saturday at our yard truck scale. It weighed 3880 with me in it on empty-1/8 tank.
I added a can of C-12......so I'm guessing 3900 lbs race weight.
Thanks for the kind comments  :cheers:


Mike the gears are 3.73 rear tire is 27 x 11.5 QT Pros

Couple of better recent shots and scale ticket.
This is today just after getting it off the trailer. Sun helps the paint "pop" a bit 😊

Sounds pretty nasty! .560"-238'/.550"-248',112' (http://www.taperformance.com/products.asp?cat=160&pg=2)

Curious if that duration is advertised or at .050"?

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Hmmm... must have missed it being balls deep in paperwork for Drag Week - divided my attention, thinking I was multitasking.

That is a pretty serious bit of duration, the 464 seems to be lapping it up.

Super duper car porn here. Nice car and great runs. That idle is definitely fulfilling to my ear. I feel like I can smell the fumes through my visual cavities!!

Lol, thanks Phil!
She's fairly choppy.....rig ht on the edge for street cam. I run a vac can to help with the brakes a bit.
No issues shutting her down in the 1/4! Yep drum brakes, they're just set up right.

I love the sound of it & I miss that about the GN's, altho the whistle of the Turbo is definitely cool!
