Hey Gregg, what track?
A track known for Excellent traction! Nice going, must feel Good!
Now get a clutch in there, slowly start turning up the boost, and ease your way into the 11's

Car is just too fun to drive, but has sat for the last month or so. Engine developed an odd noise, think metal knocking random sound, only noticeable at low engine rpm. Rev the engine up no noise. Sounded like it was in the lower end close to #1 cylinder. Decided to devote some time to finding problem. Checked motor mounts, trans bolts, exhaust nothing. Dropped oil pan everything looked good, but number one rod seemed a little loose side to side. Valve train all looked good. So I decided to put new rod bearing in, old ones had some wear but nothing obvious, as far as causing the problem. Did catch a problem, head gasket was almost blown between #1 and #2.
So to shorten a long story, new head gasket fresh rod bearing and while sliding out from under car for last time I grabbed the belt for the water pump, and proceeded to hear my clank, pulley bolts were loose on the crank. Car is running great.

Awesome! Now, did you happen to get a clutch in there while you were at it?

No, I wish. I have another transmission I might be putting in over winter, this one is not the smoothest a523.
I have to decide on which clutch/pp to use. Now I have a ceramic 4 puck with a TIII pp.
Robert, what clutch/pp are you using?
Greg
I am using the SRT-4 650WTQ HD PP and light weight steel flywheel with custom 3 puck disc to match my 568 small splined trans.

Thanks, I am thinking my clutch is enough, just need more pp.
Just an update for the GLH, took it out for a drive this year. Oil supply line for turbo needs replace, had been a problem with oil leak, other than that fun drive.
Surprising how the years just seem to go by right?
