I work on this car constantly. But I am stuck, the limiting point on this car is the carb. IT"S WAY TOO SMALL.. I can pick up over 4 tenths by putting on a bigger carb. I just don't know how much faster I can make the car.

Steve can you say Vaccum leak? LOL
See you tomorrow. The dinner (the company) is the only reason I'm here.

It probably won't be until the end of January, but anyone want to guess what 35# of rotating weight (mostly off the back tires) will be worth in E.T.? I've read anything from 1.5 to 10x the static weight. My previous calculation show about 1# = .003 even in the 1/8th mile... I'm guessing the new wheel & tire combo will be worth .25.... could there be a high 14-sec run in the Turismo's future?

Hey Beard I have a 115 lb driver. I want him to drive that car anyway to learn how to drive a BIG CAR even though its 2 seconds slower than his Jr. But wait with him in it maybe 9.30?
