Sorry I missed your question Jim.............Bob is right, that is the one. That little baby is something else, lots of kick and it holds it's charge very well. For your T project it would be perfect. I bought it right from the source and it was something like $ 110 with shipping and all. Here is the site:

Obviously, I would recommend one to anybody.......sure solved my space problem for me. I think Ken Thurm is running one too, and if I remember right Bob P has another model of the same brand.
Bob, I agree about the 3/4 rear shot.........I've taken a couple at the shop of that angle and I like it too. Makes the car look a little nasty with the big slicks and all.I was going to do some pictures today, but it is freezing out.................well, 60 degree freezing anyway. Maybe later in the week.
Yesterday I did something I have been thinking about, I removed the baffles from the headers to see if the car would be too loud to drive that way. I had built the baffles and the car was pretty quiet with them in, but I was just curious. After I removed them I put the turnouts back on and of course Dan and I had to take it out for a test drive.
It was like 40 degrees and we must have looked like a couple of nuts, but what a difference it made. The sound is a little on the edge of too loud, but man is the performance better. Off idle power is much improved and the car just pulls harder all the way through the gears. I let Dan drive it and told him to push it hard (we got on a side road in the industrial park).......all I could hear from the drivers seat were giggles.The baffles are staying out unless the local authorities feel otherwise.
