I had hoped to have some video of us testing from Carolina Dragway for you guys but they changed the test date to Sunday and I had to drive home yesterday... so sorry, no Christmas Test Session....

Here are a few pics of the 84 and a video I made of it idling with the new exhaust - Schoenfeld mufflers and turn downs definitely sound good...

The power plant.

The Stock 1984 half shafts and U Joints that have so far survived 2yrs of 1.40 60fts.... We'll see how much longer they last.

Side pic of the car.

Also 75-80 Dragway in Monrovia, MD has decided to run a heads up class called "Real Street" which my car fits into very well (instead of Ultra street)... Maybe I'm getting my feet wet in the deep end here but I am going to dispense with any bracket racing/testing this season and dive head first into the Real Street class....

Rules here:

Basically I have to weigh 3050lbs and can only run a plate NO2 system w/one set of spray bars... My old plate kit is not legal for this class (cross bar type) so I'm talking to a couple mfgrs about a new NO2 system (hench no NO2 kit on the car at present). I also have a good choice of tires...

Right now all I'm waiting on is the new NO2 system, new fuel pump and fuel cell... Once those parts come in and we get them installed/tested the car will be ready for Real Street in 2013.

BTW just for giggles I checked the RPO codes under the rear storage bin cover and this car was an original 1984 Z51....
