Default New Best for the Banana...

Im closing in on the 13's... got some more carb tuning to do, as it seems fat, in the primaries(blubbery), and i may have a slight ignition issue, as it has a weird miss, about 1200-1400, on converter... picked up .03 in 60ft... mostly from gear change... 3.90vs 3.55s ... all this on 235/70 all season radials...hehe

That ole barge looks great going down the track.



Loosen the front end up and maybe a higher stall converter and get that thing doing a wheelie!

You must pack a lunch and eat it vs driving the Firebird.

Nice job.

carb tuned, right, im sure itll daylight the driver's tire..
