So last night Big Green did his first burnout on the street, ever. This was originally a 307 PG car with a 3.08 pegleg rear which equates to no burnouts :). I added the posi rear and a TH350, but the old 307 didn't have enough umph to spin both.

Now I have the new '307' installed, and just put in a Coan Pro-Street 2800 stall over the weekend. I'm starting to get it dialed in a bit, and last night I went out, and punched it from about 5mph in first gear. At first I was worried, because my rpms were rising but I wasn't accelerating very fast. Then I realized that I'm not accelerating because I'm laying a patch in the road :git: . So I slowed back down and did it again :D. I can tell my rear tires aren't going to last long now.
After 36 years, Big Green can finally burn rubber with the best of them :)

sorry, dont' have any pics of the 'glory stripes' :). Maybe I can get a friend to videotape a 'test run' for me. I've got a friend that does professional grade digital photography just as a hobby. He's going to do a photoshoot for me soon, and I'll have some new pics to post.

That's a good problem.
