Do some research on muffling wind noise with them. There are some decent solutions out there. Out of the box the audio is worthless over 60mph.

Well one will be inside the car and the other to record suspension under the car, under car will be muted any ways, the cars got dumps.

cant make a pass windows down so i dont think wind noise would be a problem for me but maybe im wrong?

interior pics and bump

Still moving alot of wiring, majority of the wiring was to make sure everything was working properly, alot of it was old scrap wire tbh

everything will be rewired and loomed properly if i ever have the time.

Might be going to the track next weekend, hoping for high 10s 1/4 mile, mid 6s 1/8 mile, very realistic numbers, if it hooks...






Last pic the powersteering pump is off, kinda shows how i had to modify the powersteering box, used a 12pt 3/8" header bolt and ground 3/4ths of the head off, and then had to grind down the adjusting nut on the top of the box (Pump and pulley don't fit, remember these were all smallblock cars... probably for that reason lmao)

Went to the track last night, track prep sucked but we managed to go 7.012 @ 99.97mph and 11.42 1/4 mile @ 94mph, had a 6000 chip in the msd box, hit the highside way early, going to put a 7,000 in and see what we get (Tach was @ 5200 when it went on the chip, i know the tach is right)

so it leaves more to be desired, it looks like its probably got some 6.80s and some high 10s in it for sure, very excited, the car worked extremely well other then the ignition issue i had

it was "wheelie" cool

I might add that she made the 20 mile round trip to and from the track under her own power :)

Erm, just wondering why you'd be using 10 or 8 wire? Thats big wire man, I'd stay with 14 stranded all day.
