The kids are the only reason I took it out of hibernation for this. lol

That's a sign of a good human dude !
TT5.9mag
Two atmospheres are better than one
I figured making torque like that, turbos were involved.
Put some miles on Fred today to heat cycle the rear diff. One word describes the drive…. Awesome!
Sounds like fun, is it dry over there?
It’s not raining but the roads are wet. Couldn’t get silly which is a good thing if I want the rear gears to last…. lol
Yeah, hopefully I'll remember to take it easy on the gears for a while
That's some tire lol.
Is this your plan for this season?
Maybe not the D60 but yes, plan is to go big block and big tire with an 8.50 cert next winter.
That will be awesome-er
I'm sorta wishing I started with doing that.
What, D60? I really like the 9” setup I have now. I can build a 4.88 third for the big tire setup and swap between big tire and small tire in less than an hour…. lol
I already have the d60...4.56 will do everything I need for a big tire, i meant back half the car.
But I do want to stick to the nostalgia look.
I have a 85 Turismo I will eventually get into in a couple years and do that big tire stuff to it, maybe by then a predator engine will be in my budget (winning mega millions lol) or some badass b1 ****.

Got tired of waiting for the sun to come out so I did a weak 2nd gear hit. More converter slip than anything else but didn't want to get too crazy with the road being wet.... lol
Boy, that's a lot of converter. Sounds good though... when I get my car done if it's raining I'm going to do f'n burnouts lol
Sounds phenomenal!
Hard to tell in the video but it's spinning the tires pretty good and the car was squirrely. lol
Oh yeah, I watched it again... and saw the most coming of the rear tires.
Watch that strag. You will be wearing transmission parts.
That was 2nd gear straight into third. The sprag was chillin and not in use. lol
The build is pretty much done (for now). Just need to learn how to make a set of fiberglass bumpers and then it’s ready for the 2024 race season.
Crazy when I look at what I started with back in March…. lol
