[ALMACK]

And that wraps up phase 1.
I could not run Project Preparation H in H/SA because the car was too light and there was no way I could legally add weight to the car in time at the track.
I could not move up to G/SA because I did not have a SFI harmonic balancer.
I had to pick another year so I entered it as a 2009 in I/SA.



Up to this point as the car went down the track I have about $ 7,200 in it.
Not exactly a dime rocket...more like a quarter rocket.

My goal is to run at least 2 tenths under index for less than $ 12,500 for everything.

I ran 9 tenths over index spinning and overweight with stock 3.31 gears, stock torque convertor, stock engine and running thru the stock catalytic convertors.

I think if the car was at min. wt. and had hooked, I would only be .75 sec. off the index.
Not a bad starting point I believe, but still aways to go.

My plans for phase 2 is drag gears for the rear as well as transmission upgrades.
I already have a set of longtube headers for it.
A new tune will be needed after those mods as well as raising the shift points and shift firmness.

The rear suspension will get a makeover using Cobra Jet lower control arm relocation brackets, BMR control arms, adjustable panhard bar, an air bag in the right spring, and a hd and adjustable upper control arm.

There are areas that can be improved like those huge heavy brakes on the front.

The last items on the list involve going into the engine itself.
I would love to run under index with the factory longblock.
