turbo 6 bangers post here
It takes time...but just as long as you keep plugging away it comes together sooner than you think. Things start happening fast!!!
I'm on the fence, I need to make my mind up to start a new project in a lighter chassis or do some cutting on the 66'. I may just touch the 9's with the heavy Signet then go faster in a tube car. Yea, Tom need to put some new #'s down also. We are just waiting for you two to set the bar so we can go faster. Goodluck
Later

Ryan, you have ALREADY set the bar!!! LOL!
If our bucket of bolts runs within
ten MPH of your '66 we will be two
HAPPY old codgers!!! :cheers:
I don't know how much your car weighs, and I don't have any idea what ours weighs, but I'd love to get her down to about 2,600 pounds (no driver.)
We have been working on that... We need to get the car to a scale soon.
I'll let you know what we find out when that happens.
The Turbo Toad starts out a significant amount lighter; and, knowing Aaron, he's not going to let that advantage slip away... (probably been on the phone to Mark... LOL!)
After we get a base-line, we plan on trying to improve our 60-foot's as much as possible. I just took delivery of some new, heavy-duty axles and we already have 7290 U-joints, so if push comes to shove, we could install a trans-brake like Steve Nitti's doing, if we have to...
Hope not; they are really hard on drivetrain parts.
Talk's cheap; we'll see!!! :happy1:
