It was just a drag car, but I am putting rego on it now. Spent enough money on it, I just want to enjoy it now.

 

Cava, most of the glassed on cowls i have seen, have had to be re done after a while. They tend to crack at the corners. Have you had any dramas? A guy i know has a metal cowl on his car, and where they smoothed it with fibreglass to neaten it up has been done 2 or 3 times in 18 months. Finally got it done well, and then someone keyed his car.

 

I plan on driving its arse off, and I like the bolted down look more than the glassed and smoothed look. It’s different, which is a bonus to. The guy who did it, said it should be legal, it has 3mm steel bracing around the cut out and where the factory bracing had to be cut. It’s a real neat job.

 

It ran a best of 11.1 @ 117mph before the motor had to get rebuilt. That was on 26 inch high slicks, with 3.7 diff gears. Ran out of  gears before the finish line and hit the limiter. It was also still on its run in tune. Was making about 560rwhp on 9-10 psi. It will be running around 9 psi on the road. But will turn it up to 15psi for dyno days and fun.

i am running a t400 with 3.7 diff gears. on a 26inch slick i hit the limiter before the line at the drag strip. it was limited to 6500 though, was still running in the motor. i either wanted to runa 28 inch slick or change to 3.46 diff gears. i think i will change to 3.46s now the car is to be registered again. the 3.7s are a little to high for street use in my opinion.  3.07s would be ok, but i was led to believe that they put alot of load on the box. not sure how true that is. it was definately slow off the line with 3.07s.
