86 is back on the road

[Ttype83]

Took it out for a maiden run in the neighorhood today and all I can say is HOLY SH!T. Left a 40ft mark at my neighors house, had to let off I scared the wife   :rofl;

A BIG Thanks to Grumpy and Russ for all the parts to get me back on the road  and answering all my questions
I still need to finish bleeding the brakes, put in the new plugs and tweak the exhuast.

I think I'm going to need more meat out back, 4 psi launch and about 20ft into it the rear busted loose.  :supz:

T&T this friday

[Ttype83]

Here's the Buick leaving it's mark.
I guess the wife got scared quicker then a thought, looks to be only about 20ft long. The other mark is from a 4psi launch at his mail box and that's were it busted loose. May have to get larger rear tires :eek!:

Try gettin' the tires hot and sticky before that 4 psi launch.

I bet your happy as hell. I cant believe the wife got scared. I would have figured she would have clenched her fist and screamed "YEAH!!!!!"

She was scared I would hit his mail box, I launched @ 10psi boost.
It's damp and cold today so that is part of it.

Did you do more than rebuild the tranny??  Let us know the TnT results.

2800 stall pats 12" TC, 3" single shot exhuast, ported stock elbow.

I wish my neighbors weren't such prudes, or I could have that kind of fun at home.

X2  My neighborhood is a little on the old side and I think I would lose some neighbors to heart attacks if I did a good burnout down the block!  But I do have a nice freshly paved street only a few blocks away.....has alot or rubber on it though...wonde r where that came from  :smt102 !

Guy has a 65 Chev nova setup for 1/8 in the garage, runs a 7.2 something in the 8th.
He's stepping up to a powerglide and trans brake to brake into 6.8

Robert met him when he had the other car.
