    Zig, your vid of the engine running prompted me to deliver on the driving/smoky burnout. So, here it is.....sort of. You don't see any smoke. I'll flip the phone around to face the rear on the next one!

    I tried shooting one on Sunday but I snapped my throttle cable in the process. I'll get you a better one when I can get to some isolated location where I won't have to worry about seeing blue lights in my rear view! :D

    Did I detect some wheel spin ? :D .

    How did you take this video ? .

    Maybe I need to learn how to do this too .

    I had to rig something up. I took the GPS mount & bracket & taped my smart phone to it, then just stuck it to the rear window. They make brackets specifically for holding phones but I opted to make my own.

    Robert, that was worth the wait!!! Awesome response!!!
    Of COURSE you would make your own bracket! HA!!!
    So it sounds like it would be roadworthy enough to make it half way across this great country of ours at least! Say, at least to the very SE part of Kansas, right? :D
    Thanks for posting that! Your video beats the stuffing out of mine!

    Squealing tires and I detected a "BARK" when it hit second.

    That's great!

    Made my wife watch it too.

    You know, I was just telling someone that I'd drive it almost anywhere!

    A man of your word!

    That sounds like Pittsburg, Kansas to me~

    We could race down Broadway together! I wonder who would win? :rolleyes:

    You know, I thought I'd loss my need for speed a long time ago, hence the stock 350 install. But I must admit that I feel the need for more speed! Wondering what a set of vortec heads & a cam upgrade would do! :D I guess I've been watching to many episodes of Street Outlaws!

    As long as you have good brakes, reaction time, and seat belts, GO FOR IT!!!
    I assume by now it's all nice and broke in.
    Doing this would just get you to Kansas that much quicker! ;)
