Car Back together after 5 years on the Road after 7
« on: September 10, 2015, 04:09:15 PM »
It wasn't without a few setbacks , the worst was the Old cam Wiped , did all the correct things , but possibly had gotten the lifters in wrong order , got a New cam and Lifters and all seems great now , its Quite different with a 5 speed over the C-6 and it runs almost TOO cool , I do need more airflow as it will creep temp if its in a parade speed for a good time

Looks great, Faron.  Think you'll still run 10s with it?

If I would put Drag Radials on , I have no doubt 10's , however the Drivetrain ( the trans especially ) are not up to side step launches , I do plan on some passes , just to get some MPH numbers , that will tell me the Potential , shooting for 130 Just as its pictured
