Just a few more updates. Little custom center mount thingy for my delay box and F.A.S.T. data logging touch screen.

We are talking high tech H body baby!

The car is done except for some final tuning now. I drove it around the parking lot at Motor City Speed and the car is an absolute piece of work. I think I own the coolest Vega I have ever seen! I also think I under estimated what the power in that light of a car will feel like. I lost control and spun out in the parking lot and got 3/4 of an inch from a cement wall.

All is still OK though. I post some video of it tomorrow hopefully!

I;ll post videos and info later as its late now. Out of 4 runs I lost control at the top end once but ended up ok, pulled a big old wheelie (trans break is useless at the moment) Only way I could get the car off the line was foot break and hit it off idle. Ran a 9.67 @ 137.46 doing that.

Later!
