Default Martin..... My friend from Canada..

This car is a customer from Canada, Martin. His will be the first car with pics as we progress to building his car into a Stage2 powered car. Basically it is being set up to run 9's. We were going to use a GTQ70 Martin had but today, he gave me the go ahead to step it up and we are looking at a new 76ball bearing Turbonetics turbo. We already pulled the engine and trans, emptied out the trunk and will be installing the fuel system and new engine wiring harness from Caspers....

Martin...now the secret's out!... I did not know you were getting a stage 2 motor!!...I don't want to go that fast...running in the 9's is too much for an old guy like me! (56 years old tomorrow the 10th...!!)
See 'ya in Fl. next March...
