When I was at Wyotech, we dynoed a '63 Le Mans I think it was, that was rear twin turboed with a/w in the trunk. Had the stock carb hat on it but turned backwards towards the firewall where the cold pipe came in, which was ran above the trans but under the trans tunnel. All square pipe to help with better clearance. Put down over 800/800 in mild boost. Was setup to run 18+ IIRC.

You win! Random statement of the day.... What does that have to do with the flashlight drags?

oops, I had forgot to mention that's what he had built it for, was the flashlight drags and how I never got a chance to go watch any.

Racers - you'll have a return lane with 12 turns, the only return lane of it's kind in the counry

WTH? They send you through a maze on the way out?
