GTO walk around & start up

[simpleman68]

Recorded sound is "muffled" in the shop at ECS but it sounds absolutely wicked.

Lots of work went into this one and the walk around just doesn't do justice to all the little details. New wiring, fab work, every hydraulic line replaced etc etc.

Gotta LOVE IT!!!! DeJaVUE all over again.....back in 90-92 when I put DPFI on my '70 Lemans Convertible 462 /400 Chevelle 12 bolt disc brakes in front,

it was called 'Injected Madness' in Feb '95 of High Perf Pontiac Mag.....

Your car is a later version and surely much better......where you live?? I gotta steal that car one night leave tire marks to my garage.....:issues::D

A buddy across the river has a '68 goat about that color in his garage, but it's all basically stock, not a full on resto, but damn close....but it's been setting forever now, and sadly, it shows.....the usual $$ T&E......:sadangel:

Anytime you're up. I was going to do the Hot Rod Power Tour this year but a major business partner moved meetings to the middle of the tour. :issues:

I would've been at the bottom of NC but still far from your crib.

You gotta get up this way sometime, it's your turn. :D
We do killer July 4th parties.

Yeah I remember you telling me about your '70. Wish you still had her. :cert:

I'm in PA an hour from NYC and Philly, your sore back would act up and stop you before you crossed the MD line. :D

That is the last step other than putting the interior back together.
ECS is thinking 2 weeks.... which, in shop talk, means 3. :lol:

Awesomeness:seasix:
Damn, I just passed you on my way down to Delaware today.
The beach traffic sucked.
I should've just stopped by for a couple of hours and went for a test beat and been on my way.:drivingskid:

Don't have the car back yet. I visited East Coast Supercharging (1.5 hrs away) to check in on her.

Stop by any time mofo, we always have great steaks, cold beer, and good scotch.

They are working on it now since everything else is installed and they can get accurate measurements.
After that, it's put the interior back in and button her up.

They relocated the battery to the trunk since their working on a custom cold air intake rig.
This will be really nice as it'll make the stereo install much easier for me. Amp will have leads less than 3' and be in the 8 gauge range. :fastguy:

I think that is a "standard" answer just like a pizza takes 20 minutes :lol:

Plenty of specialized machinery needed for the driveshaft and balancing. Since you have close to 700 hp, going with a front and rear driveshaft loop?

No because I'm not spinning it up high and/or racing it.
This is designed as a street car with gobs of extra torque in the mid range.

If I was drag racing, I'd have loops, scatter shield, line locks, and a 2 step.
With her power:weight this is a high 10 second car; nothing crazy.
