    Hey how’s it going. I have the axles out and center section out getting new gears. Going from 4.11 to 3.50. I have so much torque down low, this will hopefully make it easier to drive. Also, I was running out of gear and hitting the rev limiter before the finish line. Hope to have the center section back this week to get it all buttoned up. I will be racing at Bakersfield for Dragfest in a couple weeks. I have to finish wiring the neutral safety switch and mounting the parachute cable at the back of the car per NHRA rules. Trying to come up with a good cable mount.[​IMG]

    Good job! That big motor turned out so cool! Knocking on 10's, impressive!

    I have had it out for a few car shows, but no racing this summer. I will be racing 9/28 at Fontana and then in October at the hotrod reunion. I need to get the Gas gauge working properly and do some minor maintenance (spark plugs, tighten headers). I got a 55 Victoria earlier this year so I have been working on deconstructing it, getting ready for paint/ motor/ trans etc. and I am building a 64 Fairlane sedan t bolt clone for my dad. We have a 427 with high riser heads and intake that I had, to put on it, plus a toploader so it should be a cool car. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    We are actually really close in performance! Within 1mph of each other. That 351W is strong

    Lots of fun, best of 11.01 at 122. Cars consistent within .2 in 9 passes. Yet to hit the 10s. I will post another run of Dale and I soon, best race I have had. Our cars are within .008 of each other and speed is within .4 MPH
