Great first night out though!! |
Thanks bro, it's was a lot tougher than I imagined... I think the last run the clutch engaged at about 5000-5200, I was no longer looking at the gauges at that point... I would love to have some slow motion close up video of the back tires on that one...
It was a long time coming, and man was the wait and doing it right the first time so worth it... The car is solid, and I'm not at all concerned about dropping the hammer any more...diff, axles, driveshaft, trans clutch, and of course that big inch furnace up front... It's all so solid.... I'm loving it...
