I'll be glad to see it on the track, that shiny paint flying by the straightaway at 100+ mph!

Samy, you are going to have to exercise some restraint. Tire smoking V8 power is addictive!

Yeah, that's the part I'm most worried about. I don't think my 255/40/18 Michellin Super Sports are big or sticky enough. Lol.

If by milestone you mean huge dent in my pocket book, why yes, yes it is. Lol. I just picked it up this morning at IMM in Indio and drove it down to Hotchkis in Santa Fe Springs. So, we'll see when they finish it. Everyone can bug them with me. biggrin

For the first time out keep that rear sway bar totally DISCONNECTED.

Just unbolt the dog one link on one side. After some laps we can connect it on the lightest setting. I see if you like it. It's just two 3/4" bolts and nuts.

Were those dyno numbers done with those shorties or a set of dyno headers?

Done deal !!

The real 70 Trans Am Challenger will be at the Spring Fling show and racing at Willow Springs.

When will you get another chance to be on the TRACK with the real Trans Am race car? !!



Bob Tarozzi that developed the Trans Am cars will be at both events too.

It should be interesting how it will play out between an autocross setup and a road course setup. Brian uses the same headers for his dyno. He said if I went with the long-tube headers, I would probably gain about 15 hp.

It's different. Especially on Big Willow and especially for novice/first timers. You've got a lot of HP and TQ to break the tires loose. Not a lot of tight corners on Big Willow.

If you roll into the throttle to early it wont matter what swaybar hole you're in.

Wow... wish I could make it with my Challenger to Willow Springs... and to be "on track" with one of the two most ultimate Challengers in the world would be a dream come true! I've warmed up the #77 Challenger's engine at Road America a few years ago (vintage event held every July).

I'll be there just to watch if my Demon isn't finished!! The only thing that could make this any better would be to have one of the AAR's there.

Thank you Steve, and to all of you guys at CPW for making this happen!!!
