1968 El Camino 1/4 mile

First time at the track with the new 383 engine and 5 speed TREMEC transmission. Finally got into the 13's. Ran a 13.791 @ 102.79 this run on street tires. Ran a 13.573 @ 104.26 the next run. I'm pretty happy with the results as of now. Just need some slicks next. Thunder Valley Race Park.

@rmanfre Yeah, I bought my TREMEC TKO600 from Keisler Auto based in TN. But they just released a new transmission that's suppose to fix all the TKO flaws. It's called the RS600. It'll shift up to 7000 RPM as oppose to 5500 like the TKO. I miss a lot of shift because of that. The reverse gear is now synced. It's a lot smaller so less likely to have to cut up the trans tunnel like I had to. The best part is that it's cheaper by a lot. I paid $4000 for my entire trans kit. I think the RS is ~$3000

@obskure267 It was on the car when I bought it. I changed it out earlier this year for a more original looking steering wheel. But I'm pretty sure you can get a similar looking one for cheap at any local auto parts store.
