I'll hy-jack my own thread for a bit. Last weekend we went to ERP in Eddyville, IA for our annual DragList Nationals VI. My son Jeff has been trying to beat my old panel truck time from back in the 70's (8.48 - 1/8 mile time). After 4 previous attempts, this year he finally got it done, with an 8.25 and an impressive 1.27 60'. This car normally 60's @ around 2.00. It took a 100 shot of nitrous to get it done, but he did it. The 6 speed manual trans is not shift friendly & takes time to shift. I keep trying to talk him into an automatic, but he really likes to bang gears. He says maybe someday a 5 speed manual.
The extra torque was a little much for the torque arm though.

I'm like Whiplash, I followed your build all along and then you just kinda stopped for a while. I kept hoping to see some updates and was glad to see this post today. Now stay on it !!!

Thanks guys, I hope to get back on the "Z" soon. Jeff's "Z" took up any spare time I've had over the last few days. 95°f + days doesn't help much either."PLAN" your life like you will live to 120.
