So with the year winding down. I was able to take the car out one last time for the class event I’m apart of (no clock street) ended the season as number 7. Was able to come out with great data and seat time throughout the year. Able to chip away at my et as well as my reaction time throughout the year. It was a great year none the less but new winter upgrades are needed for the car for next year. They include:
New turbo
New intercooler
Coil pack ignition

Nice 60' you got there! What is a new intercooler going to do for you? The one you have now is more than half covered by the front bumper and not getting enough air flow in to it. If you're getting high IAT's during a race then maybe Meth injection would be a better choice?
 
Daaaaaaaamn !!!! That things movin' !!! Look at the crinkle in them tires....hanging the wheels.... stickn' an' a gettin' !!!
 
Been busy working on this car in the off season. Plans are switching holley harness to a newer harness that incorporates coil pack ignition. Also swapped out turbos and hopefully getting a new intercooler. Scooped a new set of front wheels off a raffle I was a part of a couple weeks ago as well.

What size exhaust housing are you using ? Im using the on3 one and I think my 331 may be a bit big for it. Just now learning about the cons of exhaust back pressure before the turbo.

Your car is nice man !

I moved to VA so I'll probably be playing ( most of the time ) at Dominion.
