Formula 113 and My Car

Here's some new pics, the car is running with new heads and long tubes, look for a sound clip on the exhaust board soon.
The car hadn't been washed since Oct and I had a chance to put a coat of F113 on it as well. I think it needs a clay bar from sitting for so long.

Been like that since I got it. I once put touch up paint on it to hide it, but now it's all gone. Time to do it again.

Looks good. But how is it running? Any noticeable difference? Did you figure out how to tune that Holley?

OMG, it's fast as hell now. My brother tuned the holley, I still have to take a vacuum gauge to it and adjust the air mixture screws.

The whole front end just liftsup in the air.

I haven't even taken it past 5k rpms yet either.
Not too mention loud as can be too

New idle sound clip on the exhaust board

Then go get us some times.

I'm seriously thinking about getting some of those heads, we'll see.

track times won't come for another 2 weeks or so.
Maybe a G Tech run before that. Just gotta find a place where I can run up to over 100 mph in a 1/4 mile

Thats cool. Just listened to the sound clip, it sounds pretty mean, nice rumble to it. Good work.
