HAHA Thanks Robert!!! I could have gone for broke, literally, and hit some high 600's, but I didnt.

HAHAHAHAHHA

I almost rolled the dice. But Something kept telling me to just stop. That and the meter was just not helping. Its set now so it will stay that way for a long time. Or till the end of summer and I do a ...

Sounded great Rob, no worries on the texts earlier, I hate it when the phone dies.
It sounded like it was just ready to pull hard when he shut it down, you'll enjoy it as is and when you have a block 600+rwhp is easy!

Rob - the car sounds great! Congrats!! That is one hell of a project and you should be proud of it.

Now behave yourself...and keep that beast pointing straight ahead!!

So far its not bad. It is nowhere near ready to top out. The graph even shows that. When I get a block it will be set on kill.

Thanks Bob. I agree 100%. So far, I have taken it up the street to see how it drives. It seems pretty good. Its just plain silly to drive though. For some reason, second gear is pretty useless. HAHAHA Dave had a few nice things to say about the meter too. HAHA If they had any pro tubes in stock one would have been on my car. They sold the last one they had yesterday and the order wont be there till Monday. Oh well I guess. Its good for now. Its done and drives. We were talking Big stuff or a FAST controller for my next set up.

HAHAHAH Thats the plan here Ron. Thanks for the compliments also. I am just glad its pretty much done. I have a few things left to button up like the interior. Not much though. Probably a good solid day and it could be done.

P.S. Behaving is going to be real hard with this thing. It fries the hides like they are 195-60-15's. Not 275's.

**Balaska347** · 03-20-2010, 01:23 AM

Congrats! Nice numbers also... High 10's... I think I would be shooting for low 10's with those numbers. I would probably be disappointed with high 10's. The car looks great.

**frankstang** · 03-20-2010, 06:10 AM

Congrats Rob. The car looks and sounds great.

to TooFast98Cobra for hauling you there.

**wick** · 03-20-2010, 10:42 AM

Thanks Mike. Even for a driver like myself that sucks nuts at the strip, I should get a nice track number. For the true street event this summer, it will be fun. Cruise with my A/C on and pull off some respectable track numbers. HAHA

Thanks Frank. Bill is one hell of a guy man. For those that have had the pleasure of meeting him, you will understand. We have a good friendship established here. Our familys get along good also to boot. HAHA

I should also say, my IAT's went from 187 last year with no cooler down to 105 this year with the cooler. Similar air temps too. Last time getting tuned It was 65* out. It was 67* at the shop yesterday. We kept timing right around 20* throughout the whole range. To say I now have a fun street car that can drive anywhere is an understatement. I wouldnt hesitate to drive this thing to Florida if I wanted to.

**silvernotch** · 03-20-2010, 10:51 AM

10's sounds like another project to weld some pipes inside the car!!

HAHA Yes Bob. That will not happen for a while. I really dont want to do that right now. I want to drive it on our pilgramige and have fun this summer.
