I am going to try and change the trans before I run it at the track. Drove it today for about 30 minutes and so far, so good. I just can't get over how quiet and smooth this motor is. This is one of those cars that is decieving

Kasey, here is a pic in the chassis.
I put about 30 minutes drive two times and still have not stood on it. I have probably been 1/2 throttle and 4000 RPM and it feels good/promising. Next time out I will stand on it and then change the oil after that to see what is going on. No strange noises and oil pressure is good except at idle it is kind of low. 18-20 PSI. It has Comp Cams Break in oil 10W30 right now.

"Trailering's TOO much WORK!" This is funny because the one thing you are not afraid of is work! I have enjoyed watching your craftsmanship, thanks for taking us along for the ride. Bill

Well, I finally punched it this afternoon. Lets say I am very happy. You can never really tell (without going to the track), but I would say I will meet my performance goal. It feels faster than the Demon was. I went to about 2500 rpm rolling in first gear and then hammered down. I am pretty sure the shift light (6000RPM) was on before I even got the throttle all the way open. Of course I had to do it a second time. That kind of power is intoxicating

I am getting real good vacuum with that pump. I actually backed the regulator down for now so I only have 7-8" crusing around at low speed. It was 12-13. Not sure what it is when I stand on it.
