Let us know how that QA1 set up works out!
I Love the rear bumpers on those cars, and the white! Tires and wheels look great too.
Booger welded in some subframe connectors.... Also found the engine running on 7 cylinders and a lifter tick (brand new roller lifters), 1 intake lifter bleed outs VERY fast and popped a pushrod out and jammed it between the guide and the rocker, but luckily didn't bend the pushrod or hurt anything. put it back together and it fired right up. Guess its time to find a new lifter.
Split a transmission cooler line and had to get the pig towed back home. Fixed the line and then went out to test.
Transmission cooler was HOT HOT HOT and then checked and found out the trans was still a little low on fluid. I'm thinking a larger trans cooler is in order as well.

Made it to the track! First time i've ever been down the 1/4 as a driver and with this car.
Best run of the day [email protected] @ 5300ft DA - at sea level this thing is gonna rip.

Nice! Real nice! Keep it up and enjoy!!!!
lol.. made some header "mufflers" w/ beyea dirt track mufflers and some 3" reducers.. passenger side came out a bit wonky, but I think I can tweak it some. The video really does not do it justice, will be fun to see if there's any difference at the track.

Your car launches really nice. Looks and sounds great.
Thanks!... I'll have more coming.. I'm thinking tunnel ram.. because, why not.
. I fixed my intake that was leaking oil, as it was off I port matched the intake to the heads. Then built a 3" exhaust with some Jones Full Boar single chamber mufflers. Made it to a TnT on 6/8 - One of the honda kids wanted to run my car since he got his nitrous set up (motor vs motor he got whooped pretty bad). The circle is my car. coincidentally it was also my best run at a track DA of almost 7000ft. I guess the ported intake and 3" exhaust helped.
one of his buddies grabbed a video of the car as I was getting it over to tech. I think it's just the right amount of obnoxious I was looking for.
