Pics from todays nice weather
Yea so after about 2 1/2 days of nothing but rain it finally stopped. I got the cat replaced on my car today and did a few other things to it, like painted some of the engine bay, painted the ttop bars (things on the sides of the ttops) and a few other little things. i didnt even get to clean my car yet, i just dusted it off.

the car has new struts and shocks and all new coil springs all around , so its at or just above stock ride hight.
ill have to get u pics of the ttops later, i just covered the car for the night so ill try and get them tomarrow or later if i get off my butt.
and for times im running 16.003 at 83mph. mods are in the sig in the first post. i was running rich and out of tune and spun thru first and second. i need slicks, a posi, 3.73 and some suspention work and i should be good for low 15's high 14's maybe.

You need some heads more than anything else. If you want excellent performance from your stock heads then follow the link at the end of my sig.

actually i plan on relocating the batter to the back tire compartment and after i do that i can cut back on how bigthat wire is (lenght wise). i just gotta get me a welder so i can do some rust repair back there.
