Teal or blue I still LIKE it.

Nice job

Love that orange!!!!!!

Crazy Davey in the 9's....flat awesome!!!!!!

Cool David, Looks good!

That's Crazy power!

Go Andy!!!!!!

Having a 6 point bar would add some amount of safety.....just saying. But I guess it makes it kind of more strip less street though. Tough call.

Wow David, that was a great day. Did the new brakes work good for you?

Yeah, That looks good!

Thanks guys it seems like it wouldn't be too bad to do but I wouldn't mind seeing a picture or two before starting.

Downside of my setup is that my tach blocks the fuel gauge pretty good.

I bought a stock console on ebay a few years ago with the idea of mounting my Hurst Quarter stick shifter in it somehow. Has anyone done this and have any pictures or insight? Seems like a good winter project.

I was having problems with my alt/water pump belt coming off at higher RMP's till I switched over to the March brand mid-mount alt. bracket and a 1" shorter belt. Hasn't happened since.

YES!!!!! Must have been a great feeling when you looked at that time slip. I'm sure your going to be running faster with a fuel pump upgrade.

Our local track had it's last test and tune day yesterday but when I woke up to freezing rain it didn't look good. We decided to go and hope for the best. When I got there and was driving trough the pits there was Michael Roy's Monte Carlo sitting there....bonus!!! Michael's Monte is that maroon one that has been on the site before and has won his class at Hot Rod's dragweek the last 2 years. It's a twin turbo charged monster that runs in the 7's but is still capable of driving 1000+ miles on the street. I got in these 5 runs. Run 1 12.72@106.25 Run 2 12.66@106.40 Run 3 13.10@105.64 Run 4 12.24@112.75 Run 5 12.37@109.74 On run 3 I tried to use 100hp NOS but got totally messed up. I was thinking about so many different things that I didn't do anything right it seemed. I put a purge valve on it but I wired it up so that the switch that turns the system on has to be on to activate it. When I was coming up to the line I turned the switch on the dash on and hit the purge button and it worked fine but I didn't remember to turn the switch on the dash back off. I wanted to activate the NOS once I got off the line a little bit. So I leave the line and reach up to switch the NOS on and the switch is already on, so while I have my hand on the switch I'm totally over reving first gear. Then after the run is over I remember that I forgot to turn back the timing. All that bad stuff in one run,wow. Runs 4 and 5 were with the NOS activated at about 60ft, and with the timing turned back 6 degrees. I didn't get that 11 that I was hoping for but at least I didn't break anything. Michael Roy ran a 7.80 but then ended up breaking his transmission on the line. I got a chance to meet him and his crew and they were a great group. They said that at 4200lbs and with that much HP they were in uncharted waters on what will hold up. The trans. was a high dollar automatic that let go. I asked him if he knew about this site and he said that he did. One of his friends that was with him said that he was a member here, but I can't seem to remember his name. I've got some video and pictures that I'll try and post soon.

Paul, I've always liked the way your car looks. Sorry for families loss. Doesn't it seem like a win like this is "just meant to be" ? Great post!

Love to see some pictures, that's for sure.

I was wondering about running type F fluid. I had the transmission rebuilt several years ago and I'm pretty sure the guy that did it told me to use Type F fluid in it. I should change the fluid when I put the new converter in. Is there any way to tell by looking at it what type of fluid is in there now? Probably not a good idea to mix the different types together is it?

I put a cooler on it a long time ago but I'm not sure of the brand, I think it might be a Summit Racing one. I have to look but I think that it runs through the radiator also. Hopefully that will be enough. Do you run a temp. gauge for the trans. fluid?

Looking forward to getting it that's for sure! The guy that emailed me back was Art Reed,but the guy that I talked to on the phone said his name was Walker. He said to give him a call and let him know how it works when I get it in. Seems like very good people to work with already. Like Pro Systems is.

David, I think it's the same one that you have #coa-20320-2, should end up with about 3500 stall and they say it's very street friendly so I like that. I sent the car specs to them about a week ago. This weekend when I saw it was on sale I felt like I had no choice but to call and order it....ha ha
