    Ok, Ill get back on this...

    Didn't do much to the car this past year. Pretty much just drove it around and enjoyed it. I went to the track a few times as it sat. Best pass was a 12.67@ 107. Still bone stock on 6lbs.

    Went down to Williamsburg for the Airport race and had a blast down there. Hopefully they can get the township to let the continue it this year. They fought it to the end with no good outcome...

    I was going to throw the Holley heads and Systemax intake on it but Shannon made me a killer deal on his old motor.

    Stock bottom end with AFR 165's, Anderson N412 cam, and Systemax intake.

    Spent a little bit of time on the dyno trying to get the red car to make some power.

    Mike did a great job working on it. Fighting through issues with the boost controller and the wastegate. Still managed to pick up around 75 hp and a bunch of torque. Once I get the new wastegate and controller on it, Ill be taking it back to see what we can do... Unless I get the Marti report back and the numbers are lower than what I original thought. Just the cheap report shows its 1 of 328. Ill be getting the deluxe report here soon.

    Its a nice little coupe. Dart SHP 363 with a 5 speed. Still full weight with air and power steering and full interior. It runs pretty good. I went 10.24@133 I think in it. I know Shannon has been 9.80's or .90's in it. I didn't make but 4 passes in it last year.

    Looking for a set of 28 spline, stock length, 5 lug axles to swap it over. If any one has a set, let me know.

    Questions about the header wrap... Leave it on or take it off? Ive read somewhere that its not good to have it on. Causes cracking. My last set up wasn't wrapped.

    I think Im going too. Ive been reading up on it for an hour now. Seems like most people don't have any issues with cracking that I could find.

    I'd leave it on, the heat containment alone is worth the risk.

    I had my long tubes wrapped. I loved it. Never had any issues with cracking.

    Bought a new (stock) oil pan and drilled it for the 10an fitting. Rob Lewis welded it up for me. Got the pan installed.

    Nice! Good to see you're getting some work done on this one. Can't wait to see it out and see what you can get out of it.

    Ill have this one running soon and back to getting some tuning done. Still just a stock block motor so it will be limited some.

    Still up in the air on how I want to go with this one. Its a fairly low number car so I don't want it to spiral out of control.
