Damn Marc! Looks awesome! Gonna be a little stronger than the 217rwhp it made before

BTW, I am finally getting around this month to wiring up the fuel system I go from you, so I may ask a few questions.

Thanks guys,
I'm pleased with the project and am looking forward to beating the hell out of it.

Jon,
I'll try and remember but we'll have to pull the wayback machine out and see what happens

The only plans are to finish, drive it and enjoy it.
I'm getting the A/C working again, the car should run low 12's, good good mileage and be a blast to drive.

Some of the best times I had back with the Tomato (www.geocities.com/marc94z) were when it had the old P600B on it @ 8 #'s of boost and the car ran high 11's all day long...drive it to the track on drag radials, race, go home no fuss no muss. It was nice not to have to change tires, add race gas, change the program, bla, bla, bla. I'm going to throw some drag radials on the 73 as full time tires and I'll always have my helmet and tire pressure gauge with me so whenever the spirit moves me to do some racing at NED I'll be ready

Thanks, it should be running in about a week (assuming all the little piddly parts arrive). It will take probably another month before I get it back as after it gets running he's got to wire in the new dash and also get the A/C running and do a few other things....and of course he's going to tune it on the dyno.

What I meant to say is that it should be running in about a month

It's made some progress and I've updated the website.

Buddy was sick with the flu so things got backed up a bit but the progress has started to happen again. It should be able to move under its own power next week.

It'll be at Camaro day at NED and should be a regular at NED as well.

Not much of a club person so who knows but I might be inclined to do a car show or two....
