Finally, I get to see it run. I have been following the build and have enjoyed watching from afar. You have a neat car and I am sure you will enjoy it. As I said before, the numbers matching crowd are probably crying in their beer.

There is no traction whatsoever. Not even a tiny bit. Unless its on a sticky track with no dust in sight......that car is going nowhere hahaha.

If you think about revs, it revs. No need to touch the pedal. Insta-blap.

The cam is a custom Comp unit, and it is as wild as you can get for a blown nailhead. I told them the results I wanted, and they did a great job delivering. I can't remember the specs offhand.

A little background on the car:

I started this project as a "shop car" in December of last year. I started with a $200 craigslist beater, and with the addition of a bunch of tubing, a little axle change, and a built to the teeth blown Buick Nailhead, I have myself a bitchin little A/GS car.

This thread is Part 2 of the car's progress. Part 1 can be seen HERE.

This is what I started with:



This is the Strange Bird today as of today:
