Talking Its....fast....

Hey guys! got my carb working well now, and the car pulls ALOT harder now. Cant wait to get some hp/ quarter times, and i'll post em on here. its runs rough when i start, but i thing the 750 was just what it needed. I can bark the times shifting into third now, and if i shift at 8000 rpms it almost goes sideways going into second. What a difference! I am VERY happy, it was worth the month of waiting (the intake manifold took time to fabricate) just thought i'd share. What do you guys thing it will run once ive got it jetted properly? im hoping for mid to low 14s. Pics soon, my digi cam was stolen and i spent all my money on the car... i need to get my new digi cam, then there will be pic/a car domain update. I'm happy again...

totally unrelated, but my friend has a sick video of a volvo 850R that chirps and burns out in 3rd gear. its insane! he has an 850, but its auto. still really really quick with that T5 Turbo.
