Thank you Kevin, Doug, and Joe. I appreciate the compliments.
Driving to the track, racing, then driving home? Sounds like you're all set for Drag Week
Congrats on a good outing, and having no issues. That's got to build your confidence in the engine! How did your trans shift? Your speed certainly indicates you have more potential in the car. Hopefully winter will hold off so you can get some more seat time.
Yes Doug, the plan was to make it to DW this year with the car. I was already registered. It was going to be close getting the roll bar and trailer hitch installed before the race, but I think I would have made it. Once they cancelled the race, I went back to dragging my feet getting the car finished. I STILL don't have the roll bar or hitch installed.
I've had a few teething issues leading up to going to the track. I still don't have full confidence in it, but getting there. Yes, I did have no issues driving there, racing, or driving home. The trans shifts pretty good being pro-shifted. I am power shifting it at the track and occasionally on the street. I have learned REAL quick, unless I double clutch when cruising around on the street, the slider teeth will get burred up quickly. I've already pulled the trans once to deburr the 3-4 slider. Easy fix, but it still all has to come apart. Weather is looking like it will cooperate for this coming week/weekend, so I think I will try to go and improve some. To answer an update for you from a while back, I have seen no leaks at all from just using the sealer around the pan rail, timing cover, rear main cap, etc. She's sealed up nice so far....
Joe, if I get the 60' down to the 1.4 range, LOOK OUT 10's.
Forgot to mention earlier, I'm still running through exhaust and have the little 750dp carb on it.
