Thanks gilroy I will work on the 60s. I drove to the track made 3 passes and made it back in 1 piece. The track is an hour away I am happy with the car it has great street manners and is a blast to drive. Got my subframes today and also I have to hunt down a driveline vibration above 70 before I go to the1/4 mile track. Besides getting my launch technique down what would you rec. For suspension upgrades? The only suspension mods are the lca. Drag lights and front swaybar removal. The front shocks are ac delco junk I thought about replacing those.
I don't know how to link the video but it's on YouTube type "red light damn" and it comes up me vs my buddys 383 el camino. He red lit and I cut a .503 light.
