The long hard process of building a Mean 305 TPI is finally over!!!!!
This might get locked, but i wanted to say thanx to everyone who has supported my idea on modifying a 305 TPI, Im finally done, after countless hours of going through pep boy,strauss,GM,Autozone, im finally done. At first the car sounded gay, but after 20 minutes warmup in break in period i revved it up to 3000 rpm car sounded like a roaring tiger, I really cant express my thanx to everyone, for making my dream come true,
THANK U
