Valiant in Texas
I appreciate the compliments. Yeah, I heard the strip shut down and reopened, not sure what the story is behind that.
As far as modifications are concerned, I've gotten limited information from him thus far. From what I've been able to piece together with the info that I've gotten and the box of receipts I've got:
It's a factory 4 barrel 318 with a Proform 650 double pumper. As for suspension mods, it has things done to it that I lack knowledge of. Again, I'm used to Japanese cars, so this is a totally new game to me. Rear end is a Dana 60 limited slip, ratio is unknown to me at this point. No time slips to my knowledge. A new trans was just installed, 727 Torqueflite with a TCI Outlaw shifter- no aftermarket stall/tq converter as far as I know.
My plans for the car are undetermined at this point. It'd be foolish of me to not take it to the track eventually. On the same token, I'd like to drive it regularly, but I'm unsure of how TX DPS will respond to a street car with a cage and a nitrous bottle in the back seat; not to mention insuring it.

If you guys are ever up for it, I'd love to meet up sometime. I'm sure you can teach me some things about the car.
