I didn't have the money to build a 2,000 lb car in 1990 which would make all the difference now, but I'm attached to the car. It is what it is. A heavy pig that runs low 8's. It's probably cheaper for me to switch out the steel interior to aluminum, add a glass front end and doors, drop a couple hundred lbs than to have more port work and go to a 1471 and back to injection.
I hear you Dil........fly weight cars under 3,000 is the only way to go! I think my car is ready for Norwalk, I'm not changing my camshaft so it's going to run what it runs.........8.20's. On a GOOD note the engine is still together. Dil think screw blower in a nostolgia case.
My plans are to get my Wife TA running (Saturday, I'm hoping) then do a quick once over on my car and maybe go to the Blue Suide Nationals at Norwalk next weekend and run some Pro Tree stuff, then the Pontiac Race 2 weeks after. See you there Dil!
