Yeah as Jeff said I took the car down to the track and it surprised me after each run it went faster and faster. Here's a video of my last pass granted it was still 90* outside temp and a track temp of around 125 from what I was told I left late because I have the other lane the kick. Anyways let me know what y'all think

Trailered the car down to Mir Saturday on the hottest day of the year for some grudge racing and found the breaking point in the car. Only have a 255lph fuel pump feeding a 10psi 347 stroker turbo motor. Safe to say my a/f readings were a bit lean you could say

You can see as my rpms go up my fuel pressure drops down. Looks like a new fuel system for me!! Lol

Going with a Holley dual pump system that Kris recommended to use and new lines and rails.

Well took the bumper off again to change out my headlights don't ask me why but my tinted ones were starting to crack so I didn't like it and wanted a change of look so went with just regular lights for a while.

Here's what it was before
