Another week,,,another update. Out again after some changes and tweaks/etc. Made some collector extentions 3.5" X 19". Jetted up some more to 92 square(#8896 Dom) 60' not responding to changes as expected,,,seem to be bottoming out shocks AGAIN! 1.45 6.55 @ 105.8mph. MPH is there, so I feel I'm making some better power, but the weight transfer problems have come up again. May have to limit front end travel a bit to over come the bottoming out at rear problem. Working with probably the worst rear coil-over/shock combo available, but it is what I have right now. Have not got fresh air scoop on car yet, still pulling all my air from under the hood. That will be another one of my 'priorities' this week. Driver is getting back into the swing of things alittle better. Sneaking up on the tree little by little. Got on the wrong side of the green by .005 "last" round. Had been .050-.080 on the good side, but, the slow side.!!
Just watched videos of a couple runs,,,front end bouncing. DEFINITLY bottoming out at rear!!! Will try to correct that for sure!

One last one with another hood that I haven't got worked out yet. I would rather run this hood, but haven't had enough time to get the tubulence/pressure issues corrected.
