    Drove the car around today ran a tank of corn thru it and since I have changed so many things on the car at once I can't say exactly what done how much, but I can say it is a completely different animal, this weekend is going to be interesting, I'm gonna bring extra underwear

    Yea the x pipe and the e85 have REALLY picked up the low range, maybe its just the way its transferring weight so well with the new suspension but it jumps out QUICK, its got some solid 1.30's I feel positive, carb is a little touchy with warm starts, hot and cold starts are perfect, but that area in between the two is pretty touchy, but its a hot rod so no biggie, fuel curve is SPOT ON, pulls from idle to shift like fuel injection, low gear low roll stomp is pretty wild and smooth as silk, drove it all over town today 85degrees out and never got over 185 sitting at a light for a good 5min. Never loaded up and pulled away clean , really digging it so far

    I'm contemplating it, I just hate Greer track prep on Thursday is terrible, usually a waste of time

    My preferred track is having a Gasser event this weekend, so I may try to hit up another local track Thurs, friends have said its actually been working good so far but the people that go there irritate me, tools in muddy trucks,mini vans, Hondas etc jam up the lanes and their presence just generally pisses me off ....but most everything does that anyway ha

    No luck today knocked the tires off both passes, so much so I couldn't even make a shock adjustment with any certainty and no time to do so any way, my 325's are few years old so gonna wait till I get the new wheels and 30in rubber b4 going back also going to get my friend to plot the suspension. With the taller more narrow rubber I think I can drop rear another inch. Part of the fun is the battle ha,..
