I have spring fever:-)

Tough to go through without a driveable muscle car:-( I see lots of motorcycles and some muscle cars out and about, but I did have to scrape ice from all my windows this morning again:-(

I am dreaming of ripping second like a boss, with a sick set up like this one pictured. I have the Shifter all ready to go and Nick Morocco has the linkage saved off to the side so we can bump up the action a teeny bit better.

Hello Summer!!!

Mascar engine build is getting closer.

All the core components are lined up and ready for some Dr Olds/Maisano magic:-)

Scott Tedro and Ken Maisano: Again, a heart felt thank you for your tremendous generosity, we appreciate it very much!!!

I can imagine the RPM's going sky high and pounding the Shifter with impunity!!!! (I either have spring fever or it is rut season) :-)

Now you're talking! That should make you close to a Bill Jenkins! The Vertigate will make you more like Dave Striclker or Ronnie Sox. Just remember and the Mascar guys should know, there is more than the engine or trans or rear that gets that 3600lbs moving. You must factor in the clutch, flywheel, rear ratio, tire size. Back in the '80s I had a '69 Chevelle with a little 350 running 11.50s. I tuned and tuned and looking back darn near hit the optimum combo. MAYBE coulda snuck up on a 11.40 but my first three runs were 13.02, 13.05, 13.03 and I packed up and went home. Everybody asked my I was leaving. That was by baseline and I wasn't telling any of my competitors a thing. I left, shifted, and hit the stripes at the exact RPM all three runs (which was quite low) and THEN started tuning. My point is this: don't expect to run 11s your first time out unless you have some pretty smart guys setting up that car, and/or that 350 they're doing for you is awful stout.
