Bill I guess a picture isn't worth a 1000 words but the car weighted in at a bloated weight with me in it and a full fuel cell 3025. That's considerably heavier then what I thought.
Honestly I can't make any chassis adjustments without any video because I don'thhonestly no what's happening at the starting line.

Sounds like it may be about 60 pounds heavier than my car...

RE: "I don' honestly know what's happening at the starting line."

That's why I am going to have someone else drive it; I can tell a LOT more about what it's doing and what it needs by watching it as opposed to driving it!
 
Well I was a bit disappointed with the performance of the car and the afr wasn'ta quite where I feel comfortable on the big end so I felt I need some more rear jet. While I had the cold side piping off I decided it was a good time to check the lash on my valves at idle the car was clicking bad. Man oh man was I glad I checked them they were all over the place.
Well I put the car back together and took it for a spin on the first pull I had to get out of it because I heard a weird noise like something broke loose but the car was pulling so damn hard I turned it back around to head home and easied into again and I heard something and looked it was only the window crank handle.So I doogded a bbullet there.
So after I took the toad home and looked everything over onemore time i felt good about taken the car out for couple hole shots and to run it thru the gears. And I can't believe the difference I most of burned the tires for 30 feet.
Now I have too say this little beast is running the way it's supposed too

Stay tuned
Aaron :cheers:

Can't wait to see how it works ..... the manifold is the way to go jmo ... not a big fan of headers for the street. kinda wondering how well the welding on a cast manifold will hold up tho. going to kinda get realy hot rite there when ya put the beans to it.
