[Robbie Welch]

Kris, I'll take some photos when I take them off after the PRO AM for coating,and report on any performance changes.

Well I ran the car with the new headers on it this weekend. As you may know I'm a .90 guy and the results where inconclusive. I ran it off the off on the first run but it wasn't a good clean run and went 10.32 128mph. That seemed a little slow but the mph seemed pretty good for the weather. On the stop it seemed to take quit a bet more to slow the car to 10.90 and it still went 128. I felt like with the weather correction numbers for the weekend it would of run 126 or so in the past? We'll see. I know this isn't the .90 form but you guys seem to respond more . Thanks Robbie. Now to put the disc brakes on. Anyone want to guest what the car will go after that? I'm going from 4 wheel drum to 4 wheel disc.

How much weight will you lose in the brake change? If ~100 lbs and you then re-add the weight in ballast it becomes unspung mounted low and more to the rear which means the car will react quicker but probably not much quicker. If you lose that weight then I'd say .07-.08 quicker. Cars on a stop have more variables involved than a regular class car but I'd be interested in what you come up with.
