Thanks Blestx4, I do update this constantly.

Still no alky or 4 speed yet. But now I've got even more traction by way of wheels and tires I picked up last night, Pics will be up when I get back home.
Knockoff Centerlines from Cragar. All steel/chrome 15x7.5, Got a hell of a deal. 4 wheels with nice tires, 4 center caps, 20 lugs nuts with washers. $125.

 

[dr_frankenstein]

[charlief1]

Good deal Adam. Did you get the other mods done to it yet?

I've never had a full set of nice 15"+ wheels,:frown: I've just always had two 15" steelies that I put my slicks or drag radials on and swapped when I got there. I was actually rolling around on 14" forever.

 

[WarWagon]

New/used wheels and tires.

oops snuck in a shot of the aftermath from the Memorial day launch.

Newsed wheels and tires:

Half of it is finished Charlie(springs mounts), I started with the LCA mod but had to post pone due to low gas in my torches and my snap-on guy is avoiding from me,cuz I need my drill bits replaced.

Thanks A.j.
Charlie has me setup with traction mods too, I'm only half finished with them.
Took the Regal back out lastight and tried out three 100hp nitrous pulls for the first time with the HA block and new ignition timing setting. No knock, no overheating, No traction. The frankenstein turbo hit 22psi.

 

[dr_frankenstein]

very very nice...

i was curious as to how the nitrous would work for ya... how was the spool?

A.j.

 

[WarWagon]

Instant spool! It don't matter if your idling in gear sitting still or just cruizing down the road at 60 it will just lite them up.

I think you have me sold and using nitrous..... have you considered a bigger turbo?

A.j.

 

[charlief1]

You may be blowing the tires off but does it feel more like it should now Adam? Like it's trying to shoot you foward?

 

[WarWagon]

I cannot tell yet Charlie, need to finish the axle mod.
A.j. I have definitely thought about and decided for going bigger on the turbo(in time) Right now the list is like: traction, 4speed/2-2.5kstall, alky and perhaps an intercooler Swap before I ever tear this engine back down.

 

[charlief1]

Well I'll be waiting for the results from you Adam. I think you'll like the way it works.

understandable... well hell in the end before you upgrade... might be fun to see the limit of them cast pistons!

[charlief1]

Well if I remember right bison got into the high 20's before he blew his engine Aj.
