| Extra Information from the Owner | |

I bought my car from a girl in September of '98. It was completely stock right down to the silencer. I took it to Ubly dragway two days later. I got it to run 14.6 @ 96. 273's and all. I then added headers, exhaust, pulleys, cold air, tied the frame up, gears, and a 75 hp shot of nitrous.
It went 13.77 @ 101 on the motor and 12.86 @ 108.9 on the bottle with a poor 60 ft. I now have a rebuilt 302 with all the goodies and a 150 shot to compliment. I hope for mid 11's this spring!!!! I have since added lighter racing seats, a ported GT-40, 65mm t.b, and a Kirban regulator. I ran it (before the seats) to a 13.66 @ 102.8 on the motor. I do not have a new time on the bottle. I hope to hit 110 mph, and get a 12.2-12.5 on slicks. Well it's August of 2001 and The car now has Welds, 150 jets, reconditioned heads, a few new T-5's, A Centerforce clutch, and a slew of other minor changes. My typical motor passes now range from 13.0 to 12.7's around 110 mph. My best being a 112. On the juice I have gone high 11's at 123 mph with a slipping Motorsport clutch. |
