    I like the indoor cooler. (y) Are you plumbing coolant to run through there? Or are you going to have a separate liquid system...

    hey Erick awesome car! I've been meaning to pay you a visit. Bryant has been helping me a lot getting the car ready for the track. I'm sure I'll run into you soon. My best to you and the family.

    Yeah, I still need to check out your car. I did make it to Barona to race at the antique drags. It went OK. When are you going to take your car to the track?

    The headers were custom built and there is lots of room to change plugs, etc. They actually can be removed without removing the plugs or steering linkage. They are 2" stepped to 2 1/8" with 3 1/2" collectors and exhaust pipes that go to the rear axle. I will have video, eventually.

    I just got a nice 8" installed so next is the ignition and nitrous which I should be able to get into the car in the next few weeks. When are you going again and what time?

    I have the D1SC & it was about 3800.00. It is a very easy install & no you don't have to eliminate the shock towers. (y)
