Good call Greg. 1 turn is a perfect place to start. I've spent a fair amount of time getting my 850 holley working right. They can be a tricky to dial in.

Well I’ve got to give a big thanks to the Lat-g crew for all the input on the problem I was having with my car. It was a good thing we ran a compression check because cylinder 7 was dead. I had over tightened rocker thus causing my problem. Readjusted and acted like a completely different engine. Thanks guys!!

If you guys lived closer I'd buy the first pitcher! lol

Glad you got it cleared up and it was something easy to fix.

Well I’ve been working like a dog to get this thing done! Let me tell you its hard work putting sunglasses on and cruising around trying to get some miles on it before I take it to the Dyno. I did happen to add a few more not so necessary parts though.

I made a bracket that mounts to stock exhaust mounts.


I installed DSE fender supports.


Rear tow hooks installed




shoot now that i've seen this I need to fix that exhaust hanger.

Craig --

Nice 2X4 !!

Good to see you're overcoming the demons...

I always make a list - sorted by what's important vs what is cosmetic...
I check it off as I go -- makes me feel good to see the list growing shorter and shorter.

You don't like my redneck hood prop? lol

The exterior of the car is done! I would like to update gauges someday but that will have to wait for now.

We spent the day at C&S Dyno in Omaha and then over to J2 for a quick hood alignment and finished installing hood pins.



The numbers we got were 409HP@5100rpm and 457 torque ft-lbs. Those numbers are good enough for me on this car.
