I'm wondering how easy it will be with the way it's geared. Fartpipe is going to have to teach me a thing or two.

I dropped a socket on my head working under the Silverado...real nice dent. That has to be where I got that from.

I guess I should disclose that on the 4th run the injectors shut off and turned back on after the car stalled and caused a backfire in the exhaust. No harm done but we quit until we find the gremlin. It was making more power up until the backfire.

Trust me, as soon as I feel the car has its kinks ironed out it is going to the track. Almost there. Also, I plan on doing everything I can to bring it up to Atco or MIR this fall.

Nice, between the two tracks there are usually quite a few rentals to choose from between September and December so you'll certainly find one if ya want it.

When I was H/C with CCW drag pack and no passenger seat it it was 3330 with me in it and a quarter tank of gas on E-Town scales. I was about 200lbs back then.

Now I have no clue with the addition of the FI stuff and street wheels.

The 3.42s are going to hurt you a little bit for sure but you're just going to have to play with tire heights a little...you're going to have to make a 26" (or shorter) tire hook somehow, which can be done with the right skillz.
