I will probably need to upgrade my tuna can suspension to a more hardy Halibut setup

Hopefully next time you ride in it I will be making more boost and have some wider rubber on it.

Ill wear diapers for that ride

I would offer you a place to stay but I live in the Mountains which are 3+ hours away from the vintage. Otherwise you would be more than welcome to stay at my place and hangout at my shop.

Jeff thanks for holding the camera. I cant wait to get this thing tuned correctly and realize the actual potential this set up has. Hopefully next time you ride in it I will be making more boost and have some wider rubber on it.

Videos will be up hopefully this evening. No one is willing to record yet. They have been to busy clinching butt cheeks

Accelerating onto the interstate under 3/4 throttle and boost near 12psi the car looses traction and the rearend wants to slide out at 60+mph. So much fun

Well I recorded and should have clenched my cheeks so I would not have had to change my shorts.

I followed Matt back to his shop yesterday after the BBQ (another fine event btw) and I can't recall ever seeing a car pull away so quickly even at high speed. I actually thought my car had stopped and almost got out to check....and I was still going 80 LOL

I was good through the twisties but in the straight always it was downright silly. I have never driven my car that hard and when we were done it (my car) was like an old hound dog that had been chasing sticks for an hour....panting, with its tongue hanging out but def ready for more

What impressed me even more though was the sense that this monster is very streetable which is even better now that he has a minty set of OE floor mats :)

Yes, it was a great day. !!

estimated 400+ hp!! Sucks im going to road atlanta this weekend, I could really use a drive in that beast!

Videos, man. We need videos.

Positive manifold pressure: CHECK!

Did a little test run at 1am down some country roads and HOLY HELL! This car is scary fast and I have driven some fast cars in my day. 14psi +/- and it pulls like it is being chased by every demon in hell! I cant wait to get it back on the dyno for some new numbers. I am going to guesstimate 415whp I hope I am right.

I will post some videos in the following days but for now I need to make sure she is ready for the WNC picnic.

LIFE IS GOOD
