    8 second 152 mph drag race pass. The Chevy II has a tube front axle, Roots blown 383 small block, and a Lenco transmission. The video was taken at Famoso raceway.

    Thanks for the compliments from everyone that posted. Everybody's been really cool.


    I launch it at 6k, shift at 6800, and go through the traps at 7100 rpm.

    I'm a friend of Phil Lukens, the owner of Blairs.

    NICEEEEEEEEE, I liked looking at the sky on the launch. Always wondered what that looked like. Well done. Thanks
     
  22. That is an awesome video! I have a new 5 speed ST1200 Lenco for my Gasser project but still have not ridden or driven a car with one, so this helps me see the reality of driving one, thanks, and any tips for a newbie would be helpful.

    ST1200 is an excellent transmission. You will love it. Just make sure to leave the water box in high gear, and it will be bulletproof.
