Re: 8.50 index build
Look into mid Atlantic.90 they have included top sportsman/dragster for this season. Would be a great place to race. We run local tracks to you. Cecil, atco, and maple grove. Rob kiester posts on here so if interested and need more info, look him up. I will definitely be sure to come check out all the hard work you put into this project

Re: 8.50 index build
I was able to get the headlights wired over the weekend. Ran out of some supplies so I'll finish that up once they get delivered. The halo headlights are from Octane Lighting.

Re: 8.50 index build
The other day I noticed some oil drips on the car in a couple areas. Decided it would be best to pull the engine to better find the source and take care of the leaks. Nothing like going backwards sometimes.

Re: 8.50 index build
Sorry for the lack of updates.
Came home from the show and began to work on the chassis setup. Found the rear shocks were not sitting down at ride height length so I had to swap from the 80 lb coil springs to a 70 lbs. Put the car on scales as well as measuring and plotting the instant center.

Re: 8.50 index build
Next up was to put the car on the chassis dyno to work on the efi tune. Got the tuneup almost done when we heard a noise in the valvetrain and aborted any more runs. Took the car home to investigate.

Re: 8.50 index build
Pulled the passenger valve cover on the dyno and found 3 of the small bolts laying in the head that attach the exhaust stand to the intake stand.
Got home and took it all apart to inspect the thread inserts in the heads. False alarm, all was tight and threads were good. Can only assume those small bolts just never got tightened completely.
