Winter Time upgrades

Rollins_2241 · 12-15-2011, 10:17 AM

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.

Got a two page list of little stuff to do, biggest one is to switch from the FAST XFi box to the Holley Dominator box.

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