Well I took my new engine/car out for it's virgin (power) run Saturday. I stopped dropped it into low (auto trans) and brought the RPM's up to about 1500 and hammered it. The tires broke free, so I backed off, shifted to second and dropped the hammer again, the tires continued to spin but worse! The smoke boiled out and my brother (with me) was like WHOA DUDE!!! It finally hooked up and we were off like a shot! The chase car (a modified trans am) could'nt keep up and was left in the dust.
I was like... lol anyway just had to relate...man it was fun...

It's fun, isn't it? I had about the same response with my car once I got it running. I look forward to seeing what you run with it, keep us posted!
