No doubt once he gets back from the fest, and there's more than 300 miles on the motor, we can turn it up a notch, actually launch her off the line and see what she'll do! No doubt a mid 10 is possible in the mid 130's. But not right now. :-) You guys have fun at the fest, don't break anything, and we'll see you when you get back and the handover wears off.
Corey told me last night his goal of success was measured by how happy the customer was with the finished product... Well, I'm learning that these cars are never really finished, there is always the next mod... And the next...,

That having been said, Corey, you are 120% successful on this project... I'll be around the shop often, to visit, to help out, and to take her to the next stage...Corey, Narc, Brent, Conada, etc... Thank you all...

Awesome job Corey !!!

We will check out your handiwork on Brandi at fest. I have no doubt it will be excellent workmanship. Give R some of your business cards to bring to the Fest. I'll bet there will be others that will want to visit you...

Thanks Randy... Like I was telling DE the other day... we can harrass each other about the 66-7 vs LS-3, but heaven help any Fowd or Mopah drivers that mess with any of us... All I can say is they better bring it...

I can't say mine is untested, but I certainly need some more seat time... I took the drag radials back off this am and have the p-zeros back on it... and it's a whole new world... Either they are oiling the roads, or there is black ice all over South Texas... I left an event tonight and Brandi was still wiggling her butt side to side going into 4th... well into 4th... It's a very predictable wiggle, just keep the wheel centered and she just wiggles when she walks... no more then three or four inches side to side...She has yet to do anything crazy or unexpected... but believe me, I am focused anytime she is moving... If she did decide to do anything crazy, it would happen really really quickly...

Now you're thinkin'...

Killer pics of the build. Can't wait to see Brandi at the Fest.

I did notice a post from one of the other threads. If you get a 2-step it will really help your 60' times. (See Merc at the Fest - I think he got his hooked up. GTA was gonna do one too.)
