Slowly but surely, we are working out all the bugs. Still have some tuning to get squared away, but it’s progress.

Yeah man, it’s not doing too bad. I was really hoping to get a 10.39 pass but it wasn’t in the cards last night.

Machman 1 wire alternator came in yesterday. 
Now you need a 5" diameter pulley to run it!

You’ll get there .

Got the front and rear window replaced, and then got them tinted. Turned out real nice. Then today I went and picked up a set of 17” front runners. The 18’s are ok but tire selection is limited and they are expensive. I’ve got better options on 17’s and these tires are in great shape.

What % are you going with on the tint? I did 5 on the rear and quarter windows, 20 on the doors, and 50 on the windshield.
I’ve never had a full tinted windshield before, so I don’t know how night driving will be. Day time driving is awesome.

I usually do 5 on the rear 3 and 20 on the doors . Might do 50-35 on the windshield but I’ve never had a tinted windsheild

Looks damn good. I'm too blind to tint my windshield. And the law around here will stop you real quick with anything up front. I've always gone 5 in the back and 20 on the driver passenger windows.

I don’t think they car too much around here. Driving to work this morning, in the dark, was no problem at all. If anything, it helped cut down the starburst from oncoming headlights. I’m very happy with it.

Also tried out the 17” front runners. They fit great, and the 26” tire looks better too. Trying to make it back to the track tomorrow and see how they do.

Haven’t been doing too much, just driving the car. I’ve got a dyno appointment Friday so I can go get it dialed in on e85.
when I swapped the front brakes to the Cadillac brembos, the pedal got soft. It had a 15/16” bore master, so I stepped up two sizes and put a 1-1/16” master on it. The pedal got too hard, but it worked. So I just ordered a 1” master and got that installed today. Should be bleeding brakes tomorrow. Then spark plugs and get it loaded on the trailer preparing for Friday.

Looks clean in its place
