Here's an under bonnet pic.
Not sure on the HP, it's been a few years since it was last fired in anger, until last weekend at Gunnedah, it ran a 7.70 on the 1/8th but the MAP was u/s so it was over fueling(dribbling out the exhaust). It's best 1/4 et was 11.9@116mph, weighs about 950kg with driver. Yes it is a T5 Commodore box, 4.1 gears, 26" M/T, 5000revs, get off the clutch then hang on. :driving:


Here's a current pic, it's had a paint job.

Looks like a nice simple, yet effective setup.

Drag cars are so much different to circuit cars. Can't go around corners with the front wheels up in the air like that. Lol.

Lol, I agree!

I'd much prefer a track car.

going back to the balancer.

This would be the right one for late VP and VR? with the wider exciter gap?

Yes, that's the one i have and it works fine.

In your travels, did you come across any flat top Pistons for the Buick. I'm chasing a set and can't find any.
