HI
Jerry from Escondido. Just a Garage Fab guy. Current building my own drag race car(truck) and working on a friends Nova. Just picked up my first TIG machine, Don't have to borrow from other anymore. Been watching Jody's vids for years.

We have not ran either car yet. The truck is going to be set-up to run super-gas but will mostly just run bracket races should be a 9.90 at around 135-140. The Nova will run around 10.50-10.90. Both are going to run carburated LS 5.3 based engine. We have one motor built right now that makes 570hp at 6800rpm on a engine dyno. That is installed in the Nova that we are getting set up now to run in about a month. The truck will not be complete for about another year or so.
