Put a 200 shot on it, run faster, blow the motor, oil the track down, go out with a bang. Or, tweak it, tune it, make the whole car mor efficient and run faster on pump gas for years with the same motor and no nitrous track oil downs. For you nitrous guys....Save your time trying tell us how if you 'tune' or 'know' how to tune nitrous you can use it for years on the same motor. Forget it. I'm not going to believe you and neither is anyone else with experience because we know better. The chevelle runs great. With a little tweaking it will be running 9s in good air while your time bomb nitrous motor is blown to pieces because you thought you knew how to tune the untuneable nitrous.

At about 6 minutes in, the undercarriage shot... your engine is bouncing front to rear quite a bit and separate from the chassis. I'd look at your transmission mount and see if you could tighten that up, and possibly the engine mount material. But watch your headers compared to the frame rails, that engine is moving a lot, and that direction isn't from torque.

Dustin Meier i believe this is from not having roll cage bars from the upper firewall to the front of the frame horns. My Monte Carlo is fully caged except the front bars. The entire front clip flexes up from the last body mounts on the bottom of the firewall. Since the firewall is the hinge point, when the frame and engine go up in the front the header collectors drop twice as much in the back due to the length from the hinge point. You can tell when the car lifts and the front clip and engine droop the collectors get closer to the floor boards. Car slams down and collectors drop.

Wow if you had a gear swap change in the transmission don't know if you have it or not, developed for big block chevy drag and circle track by TCI the gear set spread is crucial and works just as well with small blocks in 3 speed automatic transmissions forgive me, i am not aware if you have a powerglide , th350 , th400, or manual transmission. The gearset i had in mind for you evens out the spread like a close ratio transmission and works with big block cars really well the automatic 3 speeds and also increases their load holding capability / durability. its if i remember correctly like a 2.20, 1.40, 1. to 1 ratios for tH350, then tailor your rear gear for launch or traps as usual. It cut a couple tenths at least and just over all maximizes everything and 60' the kit changes the first two gear ratios in TH400 and TH350's to even out the spread and allows more higher average high tq/hp numbers/ powerband laydown. Well don't know what ratios you have it looks great just something really i want to do in this 1981 camaro with a TH350, going with the 2.20 first , 1.40 second, 1:1 third gear set from another manufacturer i think PA has them now, TCI catalog stopped listing them. oh well just throwin somethin out there Your time and speed are awesome Great CHEVELLE.
