["rebade1" <rebade1@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been following along. I was wondering what happened to crack 
that... Good luck with the new driveshaft and let us know what the 
dyno story really comes up with :-))

the car from the first day I took it for a ride but I thought the 
rear street wheels were out of balance causing it. So for the dyno 
runs I swapped on my slicks that I know are balanced. The first pull 
which I videoed was nice and smooth and went to 7000 RPMs . But the 
HP was way low it is about 80-100 HP low. So we made some timming 
adjustments and it came up 20 HP but still no where near what it 
should be. SO when I looked under the car I found the prolem. I 
cracked a beer and said OK time to trailer her.

tranny shop. Turns out I made the driveshaft 1.5" too short. The 
tranny was fixed anbd I picked it up after work thursday. Thursday 
night I put it back in the car with Bill's help and figured the 
correct driveshaft length. 33.25" center to center. Friday after work 
I droped the shaft off to CT driveshaft to have a new one made up. 
250.00 It should be done monday after work.
