Been a while since I have updated the build thread, We made a few changes over the winter and finally have the car all back together.

New diff Housing
All new rear suspension
40 Spline Gun drilled axles
Sanders 15x12 double beadlock wheels

Strange Spindle mount front brakes
Alumastar spindle mount wheels

New Hutch Built Powerglide
New Custom grind Comp Cam
New Pistons (little more compression)
New PSI Valve springs
Larger turbine wheels/housings in the Twin 72mm Borg Warner turbos.
New complete fuel and Cooling systems

Bunch more Holley EFI data logging stuff.

We thrashed like crazy to make one of the biggest 275 Races out this way and in 8 days we went from a bare block on the stand, no fuel system,cooling system etc to getting the car done and out to the race track.

We didn't have to make a single suspension adjustment all weekend and my crew did a killer job of helping us become #1 Qualifier. We made it to the semi finals before going out but round after round the car was going faster and becoming more consistent etc.
