O. K.........
This is the list. 1980 L-82 C3, 400hp 454 being built, headers/side pipes w/outside collectors, deep core large cap rad, elec fan, L-88 hood, 3 sp stick w/od, serious auto cross susp, pro racing ground effects, twin race rated buckets, dual 5 pt. harnesses, chrome molly cage, Bell full coverage helmits, steel rally wheels w/Cooper tires, Midnight blue paint W/blue flames, and the cahones to drive it. (30 gal. alum. beer keg in back to carry shine
)
Now, what else would y'all suggest? (besides a lobotomy
)
How about brake syst.?
A retractable chute to deploy upon entering a turn and repacks it's self before pulling down the straight.
Dual lowrise w/Carter AFB Quads? ( I've found that Hollys stall out in the turns without modifying the bowls.)
Any advise from you other horse power/performance addicts would be greatly appreciated.

Good Idea, but Im' going for a long range bomber.
Low rpms, lots of power and takes the twisties like it's painted on the road. ( the "Starship" pretty much takes turns like that now )
Hell PG, we are neighbors, just get online and I'm right there.

I had a '55 Chev that I put a cable to the dist., so I could fine tune it while runnin' on a roundy round track.
I'll look into your suggestion, thanks Russ!!!

If Santa drops off all that schwag at yer place this year, bro, I'm movin' in.
Dude, you've got the killer list there!! Yeh, I'd definately look at the MSD stuff; I ran it on my Ford bigblock many moons ago and it was wicked. They've been makin' that MSD6AL since, well, purdy much forever.... great gear.
Heard of it, never used it! Worth a look into, eh?
If I were you, I'd contemplate buyin' shares in Good Year..... I have a funny feelin' they're about to see an upswing in orders pretty soon.....
Your movin into an empty house! If I...er...uh...Santa could afford to drop all that down, he'd pay for my move to Idaho.
Goodyear? No, I'm real happy with Coopers. I have gotten 80,000 miles on a few sets on other vehicles.
Cooper stock is goin' through the Fluckin' roof!!!!
