Jim..
I ditched the stock Dana drums and MustangII stuff for Wilwoods on all four corners. The old SR's are gone and have been replaced with new 295CNC SR's. Compression is up roughly a point and a half. I replaced all the shocks with QA1 single adjustables ...springs are new also. Chute..diaper..and fire system are added or will be this week. Lots of little stuff...including a mini alt to replace the full size 1 wire GM that was in there.

The headers 2" (I think..lol) carb ..850 Ray Murray and converter ..UCC 5600 remain the same.
Weight was 2338# with driver before upgrades.

It went 5.65 in NC October 2010 with the old mill...I think the changes should be good for consistant 5.50's / 8.70's and am hoping the 60ft will be sub 1.20's.

What do you think?


5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!
