Lil bit o' junk

Its a goal, after watching Marty Chances car run and knowing what it put down last year, 30's shouldnt be to far fetched.


Based off the engine RPM and wheel speed, right now he has 15-18% slip in the convertor, at this power level. Get it back down to 5-6% where it should be and it will make big gains at the track.

What does that thing weigh?

What does that thing weigh?


3250 when it went 5.10, still ran 5.1X's at 3350

That's chances car

We gonna have to add some weight on this one

I knew that Pat, I meant Ruger's.

Prob going to weigh right at or lil under 3000

3000 with driver

I bet its in the 2900lb range with you in it steve. Remember our silver car was 3,020 with stock front seats and rear seats still in place, door crash beams still in there, and all the back sheetmetal intact, among still having the stock fuel tank. And thats was with chris behind the wheel.


There is an easy 100lbs you have taken out that we still had in place.

Yeah prob but heavier axles wheels turbo plus I'm heavier than chris

Dropped car off this morning for finish sheetmetal arb tabs and rear seat supports should have back early in the week to finish up and get ready for track

car is back home

weighed 2595# with 53% on nose

this is without front fenders/bumper cover/hood rear 1/4 window, harnesses and seat covers

car is scaled/aligned/arb with preload and suspension setup ready to rock

installed the 1/4 windows last night, removed seats to finish a little more tin work, tore the intake down again, found the intake bolt next to dizzy about finger tight if that, there is my oil spitting issue right there

i check tq on the intake at least 5 times the day i put it on and again the next day before fluid fill, dont know how this one came loose

its all cleaned up ready to go back on tonight

then will start on front wheel studs, gotta replace 3 of them, put the rest of the front on and pretty much done

Awesome Steve! Still hoping to make tnt friday?

no TNT friday cancelled for NHRA team finals or something

ill be there sat for midnights

Cant wait to see some track times. Im hoping my carb gets back soon to get some times on mine. Our setup is almost identical, except I am carbed.

93 Coupe, turbo stroker just like you but carbed.

Sweet well get that bitch finished!
