Yeah, I've got 315 PS2's. Traction was elusive before with the 403. It's going to be non-existent with the 427 but wheel spin doesn't break stuff.

I knew a guy once who made that statement. The ex wife and I had a great dinner that evening. The hand is quicker than the foot!

You are right, I need to upgrade my Diff/tranny then I can go with some stickier tires. When are you getting your ride back?

Should be doable, but let's get it in the car before we get ahead of ourselves.

We're gettin there. Drivetrain is swapped out. Brace is installed on new drivetrain. Torque tube shaft was pulled, and couplers checked. OK there. Hardened shaft will be swapped out tomorrow or Saturday. We're good for having it running first part of the week. Chassis dyno numbers, most likely middle of the week.

Still at work at 8 PM. Been REALLY busy. Here til 10 pm last night. All of the guys have been here late all week.

Sounds like it's getting close to getting on the road.

Hey Tim,

I'm thinking the 27th to get the car. You in? I've got a few more for the cruise.

BTW: I wouldn't recommend a 250 shot.

I'm in!
Starting with a 100 shot, see how it goes from there. Max I'll go is 150.
