Winter Time upgrades

GaryGoFast · 12-14-2011, 11:32 PM

Buick sitting on stands waiting for Virginia next yr, Just need a new helmet and window net. Just under 200 passes, get 1 more season out of this JA Performance prepped piece. I hope.

Putting the finishing touches on my 8.50 index car which cant go 8.50 yet.

Jason, if you would just park in the right neighborhood you would not have to pray to God for such a petty thing.

Rock, would you install an anti roll in my roadster? I dont mean you like personally, I would be sceard to drive after an elec wiz welded on it. By the way your car is as fast as a 632 now anyway.

After I get done with all the winter work on my customers rides,I may have time to freshen up my Vette and find a few more mph with a new converter from Eddie Select.

I might even get some time to work on the old Willys .
Got a 482" Rodek to go in and a lot of parts to make it "street legal".
Want to make it a street driven B/Gas 8.60 index car.
Hey Gary wanna run Heads Up !!!

Rewiring the rat's nest in the S/ST car with a new kit from K&R, and replacing a stock decklid with a nice fiberglass bolt-on piece.

Fixing the bent frame in the S/G car that I stood on the bumper during bracket-mode testing in Nov. Then upgrading the trans and hoping I can hit a .370 tree with a 2850# car.

Putting a crank trigger on it (kinda tricky as the F.I. pump is mounted there also) upgradeing to a coil that's compatable with my MSD grid controller.Sending the belts back for rewebbing/recert. Buying a new helmet (that snell 2000's got to go!) Sending the converter in for inspection/stall change.Building a double dump valve body for the spare transmission.

The K&R wiring kit is the best thing I've ever used .
Way cheaper and quicker than using individual components.

Adding 10 feet to the car!!! Well, actually building a new one...yes I will be driving a new 2011 Dragster this upcoming year with a 605" motor......can someone explain this chasing concept to me? And by the way, what does a race in front or beside you look like anyway?????
