Ok, first I need to give props to STTCT for helping me figure out how to post the pictures instead of just a link to my page. :D

Here are a few pictures from my recent trip to the drag races a few weeks ago.

So far my best is a 12.67 with a MPH of 107. I should be able to get at least a 12.4 or better out of it with some tuning.

Whoa that's very nice. How much RWHP? 300+? You must have some mean Torque to get times like that in the 1/4.

Never had it on a dyno but I would assume there is at least 350hp at the wheels and a good 400ft lbs. The engines made 500ft lbs stock at the fly wheel.

I bought my car in 1982 and I would probably sell my house before I got rid of it.;)

I thought it was a Chevelle until I saw the front grill. Its a beauty Gundog, I love that paint job. What kind of engine do you have in there?

GUNNER

It's a 455 with all the goodies. http://home.comcast.net/~bubbastallion/wsb/media/257173/site1002.jpg

That engine looks like a beauty and a beast. One thing though, you gotta get those valve covers painted.

GUNNER

Painted? Those are $300 aluminum valve covers. You got to be kiddin. ;) Their really sweet, they are tall, where as most are about 3 inches tall these are more then 4 inches high.

They are sweet they way they are, but your engine has the wholel red and chrome thing going, I think it would look nice if you got it painted to match whatever that thing is you got bolted to the firewall, and the alternator.
