You better post a video, a time slip, certified records of citizenship or naturalization, gas receipts, and any and all documentation sourced from the national archives, if you’re anywhere in the 9’s to alleviate any skepticism. 😁

Can't knock the optimism...I hope you do

I'll honestly be impressed if you make an 11 second run. I prefer to keep my expectations low and be pleasantly surprised.

Which track are you going to?

So I wonder is the 00 a long block aluminum that’s in it ......like some 3.4 ‘s for instance were long blocks and other 3.4 looked small..Just a guess maybe it’s already running a factory tall deck if they made them...

LoL ...


Just got done getting my lumbar air pump working...never functioned when I bought the car.. Turned some dumbass rebuilt all the air bladders and lines then installed the new pumps impeller upside down lol hahaha ...what a discovery... feels nice with all the air bolsters working again.

Works but however the impeller is spinning off the shaft.. plan is to remove JB weld it and add in a little gorilla glue let it dry for a few days and then should hold on hopefully...if not it’s 95.00 for a new air pump ..

I guess we just thought you were having problems breaking parts on your lawn mower putting on the 102TB and that supercharger . Like with your car. Probably another squeaky belt. Hope you found that bad pulley. God i hope considering there's only one.

I had something like that for my garage in florida. It wasn't amazing, but I picked it up cheap on craigslist so I can't complain. Cut a hole in a side door as the vent and done. It mostly just reduced the humidity to a reasonable level, but for Florida that was a big improvement.

The one thing I learned is that the "dual hose" style portable is probably significantly better. Window AC unit is best value if that's an option.

Either way they eat lots of power and it ends up being so much more costly it’s better just to wait ... Normally I won’t drive the car in the summer any how just a few rounds here and there to keep the brakes working and oil from going bad
