That's a nice looking set up. Looks like a laboratory.

Guys, if you buy one of these aluminum cells, take the foam out and throw it in the trash. That stuff breaks apart after one year, maybe quicker and contaminates your fuel system. Also, and I learned this while taking my foam out, inspect the entire tank for mental shavings from when the...

Thanks man. It's not high dollar but it works just fine. I would have liked to do leather or vinyl but it turned out pretty decent. I am currently running a summit electric pump and I have a Jegs electric pump as a spare in case I burn one out. The Jegs pump came in handy when my...

20 gal cell, battery box. Trunk panels were easy to make with carboard mock ups, then transferred the patterns to lauan board, glued on carpet Pyle and fitted them in the trunk. None of the panels have fasteners of any type as they all just push in and fit snugly in their spots. I want to ad...

Awesome!

Oh that sucks.

No water leaks for me as of yet.

Okay. I've got my plug in fan for the staging lanes...check....used it a couple times last summer in stop and go traffic...Atlanta gets purdy darn hot in the summer. Got my line lock....check.......it makes burnouts easy and helps at red lights on a hill when you have to keep hitting the gas...

Thanks man! I still have the feeling I will be the guy the people in the crowd says " Look, this idiot looks like he's never been to the track before." LOL. Should I get one of those little wavy road sign looking flags that attach to my rear windshield that says " New racer on board?" ha,ha.

Did not sound rude to me at all....intelligent if anything. Yeah bro...it's always my first reaction to let off the gas once the car goes sideways. Believe me I have 12 years into this build and not about to bring it home in a pile or snuff out someone else's car... God willing.

Ha,ha, yeah my buddies were arguing about when to leave. The track announcer repeatedly mentioned over the loud speakers to launch on the last yellow just like you suggested.I take it he was helping out the new guys. My buddy tried that in his stang and red lighted so he will continue doing...

Oh I know I will be playing with multiple scenarios. The one I did not anticipate will be the one that happens....., you know it.

I'm pretty cool headed so I won't be blowing the motor up at the tree or while winding out gears.LOL. My plan is to see how/ if it launches regardless of red lighting and see if I am spinning or hooking up and take a granny cruise down the track to get a feel for things then try to get better...

Holy crap! This was the reason I rode in car with my buddy when he ran his mustang. I asked an assload of questions and paid attention to the stripe and exits. His mustang has good brakes so he was able to catch the first exit. Thanks for the replies all, got me thinking about lots of things.

Yeah that would,suck. No it's a roll forward burnout area.I have seen guys do reverse burnouts...I guess it works for them. it scares me when the track techs stand in front of the cars doing a burn out especially with their back to them. My buddy did a burn out and had to stand on the brake...

My plans zactly.:D

Good advice. Already got me fire bottle in the car. Yeah will play with my launch rpm so I don't over rev or spin like a bandit. Really just there to have fun with my buddies who will be racing their cars too so we will all be helping eachother out. Hopefully we will have three barracudas...

X-2:cheers:

Good advice:cheers:

I'm running MT S/R radials in back with front radials. The rears are 30" tall and I'm running 4:10 gears. Usually launch anywhere between 2500-3000 rpm on the street but I will play with tire pressures and see how I launch. Running ss springs with 1.5" lowering blocks but I'm yanking the...

Yeah, that's gonna be fun to figure out reaction times, but if I red light, no sweat as long as I have fun and get a feel for things....kinda like a first date.....little nervous, don't wanna make an *** out of myself and just wanna test the waters.

I was thinking that also but i do have a pretty good feel of what the car can do after plenty of thrashes on the street, but I can see how the 1/8th would be fun as hell first.

Ok feller racers..... Looks like I am finally going to take the show queen to the track and take full advantage of the modifications and go fast goodies. So any advice for me before I go down the 1/4 with my four speed small block car? Going on test and tune night so pretty laid back...

Hooks, you have a really cool PM you don't want to miss.

Wow! talk about how much we take for granted. Enjoying the progress Mr. hooks, and would love to see some action video of you doing your thing with those bad *** hooks man. This build needs to be in a magazine with one hell of a write up. I actually know a guy that I can contact that loves...

I'm running 11.0-1 on my 360' j heads,,full port, big solid comp cam, single plane Holley strip dominatrix intake, Holley 870 street avenger carb. Run 93 pump gas and a bottle of octane boost on fill up. 34 deg total timing....idles around 1-k. Runs cool but hot summer days it may climb a bit...

Not trying to be an *** here but do you think maybe you could have cranked the U bolts incredibly tight that it may have bent or caused extra stress near the spring perch area upon hard launches? The reason I ask is because I had a buddy do this with very similar results.

I have another buddy that installed one on his small block chevelle last weekend. He called me last night and was telling me how much he likes it compared to his Holley.
