Finished last week sat. Took it to the track sun. Ran a 6.50@107 in the 1/8 mile. It also managed to twist and break the anti-roll bar in the process.Now its time to upgrade the anti-roll,pull the engine back out and head to the dyno.

That looks great:TU: Seeing pics of that makes me seriously think about trading my 86 Limited for a friend's '80 Regal roller that has already been caged with ladder bars and a 9in rear. Any more pics of the whole car? I'd love to see everything. On a side note, you may want to consider moving the FPR as it is not NHRA legal next to the firewall like that.

Tech guy at the track says the regulator is ok there only because of the ultra bell on transmission.

Very nice regal, when you decide to paint what color will you go with? Are the breathers made by moroso? Chris
