It helps to actually have the computer speaker turned "on". I am a idiot.......
Sounds good! Where are you going to race it at? |

im going to take it to thompson ohio wed.then if all is well im going to la-rue marion ohio racetrack for the gasser nationals,then milan michigan,back to marion,then i think thompson two more times.i missed acouple of races this year already because of the 360.i have been invited to acouple of diff.tracks but it all depends on how the 390 runs.i might also be going to austraila this winter for a whole month!!!im just scared because of the red tape.the last thing i want is my car sitting in a storage container for several months!!!

That a very cool little car you've got there. Gotta love the HP to weight ratio.

thanks!!!i figured the old 360 was putting out 285hp to the back tires.im thinking the 390 should bump that #up to about 375-400hp.the funny thing about the cars weight is new it weighed 1600lbs,now its 2237lbs!!! so i added 600lbs,damm-it!!!!!!

yeah, solid cast metal vs the original factory squirrel cage engine weighs a lot more.
