Preparing for the Midwest Muscle Challenge

[69MyWay]

Okay - I'm doing some little things to get my 69 Camaro ready for the www.midwestmusclecarchallenge.com

Started out with installing a set of Morris Classic 3 point retractable seat belts up front. It previously had only a lap belt system. I appreciate all the input about four point cage sytems vs. this for what is otherwise a street car that uses the back seat.

I also put a steam T in my upper radiator hose to catch the steam line out of my LS engine. I had previously only capped that and had no issues for 11K miles, but this will really heat things up and I want to make sure the air bubbles get out of the engine. I don't have a port in my radiator, so this was the next best.

I am flushing the system and running Wilwood 570 and bringing and extra bottle to drain it out after the road course to make sure I get any bubbled fluid out. It is due for a flush anyway.

I ordered 10' of Jegs 3" brake duct. I don't know how, but I will be working on porting it from the nose to the hubs to help cool it down - this car is heavy with A/C and all - so these C5 front brakes will be working very hard.

On April 23 I'm taking it to www.speedinc.com to dyno tune the engine. Up until this time it has been running on a mail order tune.

Of courese, we'll wrap it up with a full fluid change, and bolt check.

What am I missing????????
