Very cool video. Thanks for sharing. I would love to do something like this but there is no way I can hold the camera and shift gears and drive too. I have got to get another arm somehow. I think I can make a mount for the camera at the where the top should mount.

I knew this would come up eventually... here is the highly complicated rundown...

factory manifolds, 2-1-2 with converter and no mufflers. The mufflers were showing some good rust and I'm still deciding on a new dual setup sooooo I just hacked off the mufflers. it's surprisingly quiet meaning the converter is surprisingly restrictive! Most of that sound is intake noise.

Ahh yes qjet secondaries give me chills man!

I've followed a lot of lars advice as far as redoing my advance curve and setting the secondaries up on the carb. So far so good... unfortunately this one is starting to leak a little bit.

Eddie I have pictures on my webpage how to mount it to the holes in the pillar for the soft top but Troy's software sucks *** so you can't view it. Basically where the left hole is take a bolt that threads to the bottom of the camera body and place 2 nylon washers on either side to protect the chrome, then with 2 nuts 1 to tighten bolt to car and other camera body to bolt, easy sets up in 30 seconds.
