Wow, does that look incredible.

Took the Gt-1 to the Sears to learn the place as I have
not been there in 15 years after they threw me out for sound
Car was missing so changed to the alt ignition.. better but still
a slight miss. I was the slowest in the first session, better in
the second and 3rd fastest in the last session I ran.. Good day
for learning the track and shaking out the Gt-1 car
Pantera will be there the end of August for the Shelby Nationals
no sound day... yes no sound so straight pipes.. sounds like a
Can Am car

before the Shelby Nationals at Sears in
a couple of weeks... Tweaked the wing supports
and Ends a little
Can't wait to run the PZeros and Straight exhaust

Just did the Sears Point SAAC 50 event
Great cars including very rare cars.. some even
running on the track... had a real Lemans Ford gt behind
me running.... very cool....
First time out with my new engine, new shocks, Pzero slicks
and new down bars on the car.. Car ran great... many many
fast guys out there.... no issues and an open header day also

My Pantera buddy shot a lot of cool pictures... this is my
favorite of my car

Been slowly working on the engine install
Hopefully taking the car to Sanderson tomorrow
to make a left hand header for the Round port Pontiac
heads....no one makes one that does not drag on the ground

Attached is my adapted power steering pump and alternator
brackets from some things I had laying around... not
a big fan of Pontiac brackets and want things down low

Bob

Bob, my Hooker super comps don’t drag…
After one good bump and a flat spotted primary tube. ��

Sanderson headers put me off a month so I
bought a set of OEM Ram Air 1V round port
manifolds Was lucky to find a set as the aftermarket
guys Ram Air Specialties had their dad passing and they are still
trying to figure things out

These manifolds will work nicely with my pipes system
I bought for the car

RaIV manifolds
 

Let us know how you like them Bob.
I still have thoughts of manifolds on mine for packaging purposes.
I did a set of edelbrock heads for a guys GTO and it pulled 520hp on the dyno with manifolds. Dyno operator was mildly impressed.
