What changes/replacements have you made?

[Tom Wells]

John,

Yes, flipped at >100mph on turn 3 at Summit Point about 5 years ago. Nasty business for both me and the car. Became an arm restraint evangelist because of that!

I'm healed pretty much and the car has been rebodied and upgraded about 40 times. Wish I could have been rebodied too

I've run at Roebling Road, Gainesville and Sebring since then and enjoyed all immensely, along with about another 10,000 miles of street use.

BTW, working on assembling a 557

It's doing great. It ran 12.6 AFR on the dyno, all the way to red line. It even does great at idle, no watery eyes from unspent hydrocarbons That's even more amazing given the heavy hitting cam on my KC Pond 482. Throttle response is instantaneous, at pretty much any rpm >2000 rpms. The cost was less that a Holley 950HP, even with the CNC'd billet base and metering plates

Stefanog that is a great transformation. I like the new color scheme, much racier looking.
