    If you get any beer off of Dave, it'll be Straub. Gotta drink that stuff as soon as you get it. It skunks pretty quick.

    Engine fact

    Are those DUBS? Cool wheels!!!
    The motor is stock, Carbureted 3.8-Turbo With a 1970 750 Q-Jet carb.3/4" spacer under it. ported heads with exhaust crossover filled with aluminum W 3 angle valve job.ARP head studs were used along with .020 stock steel shim gaskets sprayed with copper spray.The MSD 6BTM manages the timing 29 total.Turbo Blue works well for max boost of 14 to 16 lbs. 2 1/2" Exhaust from Torque Tech.One other upgrade was the v1515 rear main seal from TA Performance.(no more puddles of oil under the car :) )

    Note: I had to make the gasket that bolts the turbo houseing to the intake from a block of aluminum. :TU:
    I am in the process of making a stage 1 fuell pump by swaping the fuell armfrom the v8 onto the v6 pump
    Next mod will be alcohol injection,or NOSS(maybe a 50 shot) :blast:

    They are standing in front of the old Taylor-Winfield Building in Warren, OH around 1970. Gary Paine own's the car now, the guy on the right is Clyde Cole.

    Thanks RATROASTER :TU: I guess GOLDMEMBER has been a worthy street car. It's been trouble free for 2 months now,2000 miles and 14 1/4 mile passes :3gears: The last thing that will get GOLDMEMBER into the 13 second range would be a 2000 stall converter(501 performance converters1-866-TCC-5015)
