Quick Update!


Sorry it's been a while, we are moving to a bigger shop so my time has been consumed.

We went to the drag strip for some testing and, as suspected, our torque converter was set up waaay too tight, this prevented the car from launching at all. We couldn't build any boost off the line which resulted in literally leaving from the line like a snail. So we just tested out the top end to make sure the car feels strong and safe.

So far our best trap speed has been 137mph! That's with a 2.6 second sixty foot, for those familiar with drag racing, you know what a hug effect 60 foot has on mph, so we've obviously got more in her!

The torque converter is on its way back to us along with a trans brake!

Stay tuned for more updates, we hope to break the quarter mile record before this season is over!

Here's some fun stuff:
