Hi Gary,
Will you be running traction control?
How in the world will you be able to keep er' under 100 mph?
Would love to see some 1/4 mile and roll on times when you get er' up and running. Know when this will be?

I will begin using the car with a Race Demon Carb, and later develop a stack EFI system with probably Autronic Controls including traction control. Looking at my calculations the car will only take about half throttle in first and should hold up well in second. Third on up will definitely not be traction limited and should pull like a freight train. I just received the Tilton clutch system and will be posting picks soon. It should be running soon after I receive the transmission in early July. I have had to upgrade the stock fuel pumps which are good for something like 500 HP. I am using a dual Aeromotive Pump setup. At this point I have to:
Work out clutch release.
Install upgraded fuel components.
Finish A/C bracket (I am developing a new trick accessory bracket system).
Install motor and transmission.
