If you stick it you should be able to get into the 10’s on 91+ octane and still get 20+ highway mpgs.The battery is centered (left to right) in the trunk because it was meant to be a street car, first. There is an external disconnect that should be good for Real Street drags as long as you have a piece of tape pointing to it because it is somewhat hidden (for street use).There is no rust in the typical body areas. I believe the rear quarters, trunk lid and one of the fenders have been replaced. The grill, bumpers and most seals are fairly new. The glass is all good and I know the rear window frame (bed) area is solid since I had that glass replaced. The trunk seems solid but isn’t perfect. The spring for the trunk lid is not hooked up correctly so the lid does not hold itself open. The underbody is very clean with no serious rust signs. All fluids are synthetic: oil, trans, diff, brakes, steering.I put Zero Rust (similar to POR 15) and a butyl sound deadener on the firewall before installing the AC assembly. I will include the 1 3/4 rolls that is left. I planned to do the whole interior.The transmission has a constant pressure setup so no TV cable is needed. It will shift into OD around 35-ish (if I remember correctly) which is better for MPGs. If you don’t want it in OD that early then just use the ratchet shifter. With the lock-up converter, do not shift into OD (4th) with more than 1/2 throttle. If you want to “get on it” I would keep it out of overdrive for maximum transmission life.It really needs to be repainted. A previous owner did a poor job. It looks OK from about 10 feet away. The lead lines show along the roof line do to a lack of primer or something and there is some rough body work along the rockers.. There is a ding in the drivers door about the size of a quarter and at least one good run in the clear but that is low enough that most people don’t see it.The carpet is faded and needs to be replaced. The seats, headliner and rear deck cover are in good shape. The passenger side windlace needs one area straightened out. It has an oil leak (drip) on the back side of the motor. Using a PCV rather than just a breather may fix or reduce that problem.The engine compartment wiring has been hidden (for the most part). The wiper motor was deleted so if you are in an inspection area that could be a problem. RainX once every spring will do more than the wipers ever did.I finally got this running last fall. The FAST system is still learning and so am I. The motor has never been over 5000 and the shift points should be around 6000-ish. Do to the overlap on the cam and how sensitive the IAC is I have the FAST idle set at 750 and opened the throttle blades to 750-800 (on the tach). This was the best way to get a smooth idle otherwise it would tend to hunt/surge from the sensitive IAC. The idle and cruise are set at 14.4 air/fuel which is the cleanest setting for E10 which is only 6% ethanol (usually) according to reports from a person that does fuel testing at gas stations. New header flange gaskets are included. If they leak it can cause incorrect readings on the O2 sensor. The collectors have dead soft aluminum gaskets so those should be good.I have receipts for most of the important items. If you do not have a laptop I can include mine, for programming the MSD. It is a clone and my intent was to remove the badges when it got repainted. When you make 500+ horsepower you don’t have to pretend that it is something that it's not. ;-) I am selling this because I was off work for nearly 6 months and my finances took a significant hit. The title is clear with no lien.
