That wouldn't happen to be Bruce's car would it?

Its a bad **** car, I'm sorry that he lost interest in it, but you got one HECK of a deal because of it.

Be sure you treat it right, full throttle every chance you get

And don't be afraid to come hang out in the C4 FI/Nitrous section if you need any help or just to let us know how its going.

Hey Dave,
Sounds like a good idea to me, just not sure she will go along with it.
By the way, I have a few drag racing questions I wanted to run by you. I will send them by pm soon. I really value your opinion!!

Brian, yes, this is Bruce's car. It has set for awhile and has a few bugs to work out. The oil pump for the turbo is leaking real bad and there is no power going to it. And the DFI has the base program for a 377 twin turbo tune for now. It starts and runs but needs tuned. With that, I am going to need help or take it to someone after fixing a few leaks etc.
I will really appreciate your help and others in the forced induction section in the future!!

Im going to keep it for now the way it is. Funny thing is, I just purchased a short block from Golen engines for it, and had purchased a supercharger kit last year, which is setting in the garage.

I knew about what you had planned but figured something would have changed since you got the new car. Goodluck with both of them and get us some pics! Shoot me a PM if you need someone to host them and post them.
