Just watched your YouTube video...F'ing Awesome! What dragstrip was that? Man, you were ripping off those shifts! Congrats, looked like a nice, clean run. Couple of ?'s. How much of your block is filled? Have you ever dyno'd your car? And I might have asked you this before, is your car street legal? Thanks.

Track: South Georgia MotorSports Park, Great place and I was lucky they were open that late.

Block is filled close to an inch from the top of the deck. in my photobucket you'll the pic series of the fill level.

The dyno session didnt go very well last winter. We will try again this winter hopefully. I expect it to be north of 500whp the way it sits now.
Car is currently Tagged and inspected. Doesnt see much street driving though. The trans makes it tricky to drive on the road.

Awesome list! Thanks for the effort

What do/did you use the "Driveshaft sensor Motorsports Innovations S-37X-K (destroyed)" for?

Hey Matt, congrats on a good running car. Maybe i'll have the $$$ to build mine one day. Might i suggest switching to 79-85 front spindles then put on aerospace front brakes. I promiss it will be the best $700 you'll ever spend. When i did it to my 5.0 car it picked up a 1/10th and a 1/2 in the 1/8 and stopped much better. Also some strange adjustable struts would help a little. 90/10's tend to hold the front end up all the way down the track creating a lot of aero drag while the adjustables will let the front settle back down after launch. Just a couple suggestions to help an allready great running car.

Less than $700 if you could get someone to pick 'em up and ship 'em for ya. :-)

It was going to be to log driveshaft speed so I could actually see clutch slip and also have a way to track mph through a run. That stuff was bought before the PIMP came along. Not sure what my plans are but instead of the collar with magnets being mounted on the driveshaft it will be mounted directly on the pinion yoke and the sensor gets mounted on the diff. That way the its independent of the driveshaft.

Yeah I just dont know that I could spend that kind of money especially when what I have kind of works ok. Best 60' so far is a 1.36 and I bet I could get to the 1.29s with what I have. I also have the front end limited a bunch so it would likely get to the limiters regardless of what struts are on it. I do hear this a bunch though. I can honestly say the current setup is as easy as it gets to drive.
