I mentioned it in your thread, first page. . At Indy, they talked me into one last bye-run to win $100. Track was TOO sticky, I launched hard and broke the diff (which was on borrowed time anyway). So it cost me $5000 to win $100.

I have the full DSS 9-inch setup on the way. . Plus the Meziere electric water pump is dying, so I'm swapping that out too.

John Lee, formerly of Atlanta Performance and Fabrication, and now with Grimes Automotive Machine (a well respected engine builder down here), has done most of the post-bolt-on work on my SS.

My dealer, www.adventurecars.com, is doing the rear-end and water pump swaps right now. They love my SS and even displayed it for a while after Indy for their customers. Kids would get their pics with the "race car".

Today, however, I talked with Ron at Vengeance. Since they use Grimes, I see a forged 417 and an F-1R in my future.
