Great vid. Congrats on your progress. Watching you has been my motivation to transform my Project FEARMONT over the winter.

Well, let's hope they aren't going to hit the track, that might be expensive...:lol::lol::lol:

im having a tough time getting someone pinned down to actually do them.scheduling conflicts on either mine or their part.

making a trek to the track again today to get my 7.60 pass before i change the gears.I firmly believe with good air,sticky track,perfect rpm launch and tire pressure set correcetly that with the new gears,I should be in the 6's!!

more lightening to come in the future.

What part of the D/FW area are you in???

Trying to remember who set up my gears when I lived up there...

Don't know if they are still there but I do know that Lopez Auto Repair in Irving set up the gears in a 9" I had in a Trans Am but that was 20 years ago.
