New walbro 255 fuel pump( this is just a precautionary piece, do t know for sure if the jag fuel pump will keep up, plus it’s getting noisy, already on 3rd one!

The auburn gear. Limited slip

looks like your really in a pickle! Your roof will never get done now, and there are lot of people that deal with unemployment just fine.
Priorities man!!!!!!

Looks serious. You going to hit the drag strip to test the effectiveness of these modifications.

I might make a pass or two but on street tires, it barely hooks now with the 2:88 rear. Will just be a couple of fun runs, I think drag radials would just tear up the rear end bushings etc and break stuff!!!
