Making the HP is relatively easy. Putting it all to optimal use is the *%*@$@^# hard--AND expensive part...esp. when you're trying to do it with a stick in a two ton plus tank. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smirk.gif[/img] </div></div> I can sympathize. My Chevy II has run a best of 12.98 @ 108 mph. With a 108 mph trap speed, ET should be a lot better. I just haven't figured out how to lauch it with the Muncie and get the 60' down.

Re: More Chevelle updates
That was Marty on the cardboard--he's a little dude and can get away with that--I was on the creeper under the other side of the car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: More Chevelle updates
The first test drive is in the bag.
Status report: This clutch is one grabby sumbitch. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] --no "in between" with this one, it's on or off like a light switch. When I first pulled it out of the garage, i thought it was going to shake the entire dashboard out of the car. I drove it over to Marty's house here in town, then he asked if he could drive it, so I let him take it around the plats. It's going to take a little getting used to, and I definitely have to alter my driving style with this clutch, but I think we can make this work--at least for now. I want to put a few more miles on it before I put it to the test. More later.

Re: More Chevelle updates
I'm planning on going--Doug Perry's taking his green monster out and called me this morning to see if I could meet him there. I won't be taking the Chevelle today--no break-in/de-bug time on the clutch yet and the Suburban's in the shop with rear brake issues (again--long story there).
You taking your car out?
