Just think,,,,if ya chopped the roof and laid the windshield back.Think you have figured out weight and areo is actually easier and more fun than hp.Your Hp is what it is,make the car faster with the hp you have,and go fore the easier gains.Mark |

I am having trouble reading the time slips but 12.33 at 109 is mighty impressive. You have come a long way this year! With a looser converter you will be breathing down Guzzi's neck. Nice job! |

Great video's, what rpm are you shifting at? You can see your head moving to the seat on the 1-2 shift. Your car works good congradulations. With identical break outs it came down to reaction times, good racing. Regards Derek |

Way to go Greg! Got your message when I was in Grants New Mexico. Made it home OK. Left the Dart back in Pa. Gonna have to give it a good tune up and get the hole saw out to try and catch you now. Makes me proud that you are reading the weather now.Every little bit helps |

Romeo, Glad to hear you made the trip okay.. Hopefully That 318 Will see some good use... Now that it's out of my yard I have Trimmed Back the nasty Pimne trees on that side of the house.  Well Since My Runner up in Clay city Ruster Has pretty much Been sitting on the trailer until this week.. I got to move it into the garage.. Finished hand Painting the Graphics, Nd began work on My aquired 8" converter.. I was used and had some boogered up threads so I am drilling the flexplate mounting holes on the converter out for some 7/16-20 Helicoils.. and Adding weld where needed to beef up the mounting points. Got me some 7/16 ARP Bolts and another LA -904 SFI Flexplate that I will drill and Make into an SFI Slant 6 904 Flexplate. Future Winter Plans include More Stealthy Aero Junk... Cutting, Cutting, cutting.. I am going to attempt to do what I can with a budget of $0 this winter... saving for Next summer. Pics: Ruster Graphics Complete:   Converter Sugery:  Just a bit out of round  Using My old broken stock flexplate as a Guide  Turning the 318 Flexplate into a Slant 6 one.  Greg |
