69 gtx

First nice day I'll roll it outside in the sun for a better picture. Need to blow some dust out of the interior.
 
Thanks guys I appreciate it. I went with the magnum because I liked the factory look. I wanted the Mr. Norm look.
 
Wow, those are strong numbers.... congrats on the motor.
 
Thanks 747! Jim's still tweaking. Can't wait to meet him and visit. I'm glad he found some extra HP. I have heavy wheels, AC, PS, & some extra weight. So I still should have some extra HP to spare. I would like to dial 7.50 when I take it to the track so the other guy can have first chance at a red light. I won't race it every weekend, but if I feel the urge I'll be there! 7.50 is the cutoff for running with out a rollbar.
 
So your track runs 1/8? Same with the closest track to me. Around here as soon as you cage your car it's essentially uninsurable so I don't think I'll be making many trips to the track.
 
It's almost impossible to sell a car with a roll bar. The purist won't have any part of it. I'm cutting the bar out of my street car and putting one in my other "street car".... lol

That's one of several reasons why I made my 10 pt roll bar bolt in. If I ever try to sell my car and the guy doesn't want the bar it can be out in 30 mins.
 
Good plan Kid. Goon, Yes getting insurance with a roll bar is next to impossible. Yep my home track is 1/8 mile. Quickest I've been is 4.43 @ 170mph but that was on my dragbike.

Me, I think I'll run the dual plane.................

I've added the 6-pack line from today's results, its not lookin' half bad. As I get the lower rpm values I'll add them

I went through and adjusted from peak #s of either combo. To make it easier to compare. Definite advantage 4700 rpm & below! And holds it's own the rest of the way up. Very impressive!

She's pretty sweet. Love that A12 hood and what it represents. Color is outstanding. You've done beautiful work.
 
Thanks GetX'd. I read somewhere that the first car they tried the 6pak on was a 68 GTX that they sent out on the streets to see how it faired in the street racing scene and did very well. That & Mr. Norm were my inspirations on this build. With a few of my own ideas.
 
Car looks great, that is a beautiful color. Definitely need pics of the motor going in.
