I thought they would be farther along by now.

Enzio · Jul 13, 2020

Me too! Got bumped by a Camaro. The rear bumper is rusted pretty bad. But they said they didn't break a single bolt taking it apart.

I didn't think about it when I bought the new wheels but I paid for "security lugs" when I got them. The paint/body shop called and wanted the key. They didn't have one.
Me: "You've got 50 cars in there all different makes and models. You don't have a key?
Them: "Not that one. We've tried everyone we have and none of them fit."
Me: "I'll be out there shortly."
Them: "You should buy another key."
Me: "You got that right. I guess they really work if you guys can't get them off."

That picture reminds me of downtown Kansas city....

Could be my neighborhood after the riots.

This afternoon I went to the engine builder to see the Dyno test. I would have put together a short video but I'm having issues with my PC stuck in the never ending spiral of death with an update....
But here is the sheet with my edelbrock 1405. He just bolted it on and ran it. No adjustments needed as you can see.

389.4 right!?!? Right on Apple Bannas!

362.5 torque at 5200 is not gonna suck either.

Nice!
How is your engine setup?

Enzio · Jul 15, 2020

Not sure what you mean?

LILCBRA · Jul 15, 2020

I think he's asking about your cam, which heads you're running, intake manifold, etc.

Yes, thanks for translation!

Got to say it all with one breath.

I think Enzio is gonna have some 'Fairly' new stuff in on and around that car here soon.
Can't wait for more pictures.

LILCBRA · Jul 15, 2020

I'd reply with a smart comment but I'm pretty sure I'd end up with a new CT that I don't think I want....
