It's a 63 Vette roadster, 4.30 gear, PG with a 1.80 low gear, 33x16 Goodyears, and the 522 that dynoed at 839 hp at 7000rpm.
Fired it up for the first time tonight and it sure sounds & smells great!
Let me know what you think and, thanks....
I think you have to weigh a min of 2350lbs, for super gas, so you may have to add weight.
Even though Tucson is factored for elevation, how you gonna slow it down to 9.90 plus factoring.
The car could run on sea level.
Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 2350 pounds and HP of 839 is 8.21 seconds and MPH of 163.17 MPH.
