There is an open test-n-tune March 20th at Irwindale Speedway so I will be taking this car to the 1/8 mile to see how it does. Right now Dirty Money is getting an 8-point roll bar installed so I wont get any static at the track. I chose a Jegster Cage. I have one in my Fox and it fit pretty good. I'll also be installing a driveshaft safety loop for extra safety. I don't "need" one unless I'm running slicks but its better to be safe. I pulled all of the interior stuff I didn't want and wasn't going to use in preparation for the cage install. This carpet was downright nasty. I washed it as much as I could and dyed it black with Dupli-Color trim paint. I'll have some pictures of the finished product when its back from the fab shop.[ATTACH=full]9378[/ATTACH] I installed a lightweight Jegs Pro High Back seat. I made a supporting bracket out of some bar stock and used the original seat brackets. Work in progress:[ATTACH=full]9377[/ATTACH]Here's what the seat looks like installed. I had to have it in before the cage install so my welder could properly measure clearances and all that. [ATTACH=full]9379[/ATTACH]So now that this car is going to be a more dedicated drag car I decided to pull off all the seats and rear panels off. I dropped like 90lbs on just the passenger seat, center console, and rear seats. I'm gaining most of it back with the cage but the benefits in body rigidity and safety outweigh the poundage increase. I also finally got around to installing those American Muscle underdrive pulleys. If anyone is curious as to wether or not there was a SOTP difference, yes, there was a big difference in SOTP after 3500 rpm. It feels really strong. I made a little YouTube video on it. If anyone wants to check it out I'll send the link.Any guesses as to what it will run at the track?</blockquote>
