Here's one for Ben

Was changing a leaky valve cover gasket...

Ben · 22-September-03, 02:41 AM

That is so fookin sweet! What intake and carb is that? Looks similar to the RPM Performer intake.
Intrested in engine specs/upgrades to drool over
I see quite a lot of time and attention to detail there. How much have you done to it since you got it? Im lovin it.

Wow man...wow...That is so well done..all the right parts in all the right places. My hats off to you...wait where is my hat?

Beautiful to see that you actually drive it the way its mentt to be driven on the street/strip. Pimpness indeed.

$SOLID$ Necro · 22-September-03, 03:50 AM

Thanks Ben

I bring it up to the starting line, hold it at 3200rpm.....
When the light turns green I mash the gas pedal through the floor..
The nitrous is kicked on by a micro switch attached to the throttle linkage that engages at 7/8 throttle

I can almost hear the metal tearing during a good hard launch

It's driven to the dragstrip (trailers are for wimps) about 45 miles away, and gets about 6-8MPG on premium pump gas

BTW I found you Pimp Hat here>>>

Very nice ride bro. I do like a well built car. Did you have it at the Harper Cruise? I thought that I may have seen it there.

j-dogg · 22-September-03, 10:50 AM

$SOLID$ Necro · 22-September-03, 11:38 AM

j-dogg, New slicks?!!!

I'm glad i put her away for the winter....

Ducati, I usually go to the Woodward Cruise, Damn dude I missed it in your sig, didn't know you lived so close

Duck, Naaa, Sorry I missed it. I ditched my cable, no time for TV anymore when there are computers to be tweeked

Zenn, shiit...Bro, ride in it??? Naaa you can drive it, any man who can Mod like you knows how treat a machine

Thx guys, My Dad used to love the compliments he always got while driving her.
It was the replacement for my Dad's 1956 Vette bought new that ran 9 sec 1/4 miles back in the sixties with a Supercharged and Injected 482ci Pontiac. It was stolen in 1974...

Here is a Engine (SuperCharged 383 Chevy) we were building for a 1955 T-Bird fiberglass replica, It never got finished. It is gonna go up for sale soon. Needs me a Prometia for some FSB Drag Racing
