Thats the plan for oct. Never been to laughlin before but sounds like a great time.

Ok heres what ive done so far. Motor looked old and dull
-pulled motor and gave it some love
-cleaned engine bay
-new lucas oil for jet bearings, wish it was a berkley but its a panther. They want like $950.00 just to buy a place diverter.  >:( :mad: :screwy:

Anyways this is the start I went back to the scoop instead of velocity stack. I think it looks better being only single carb
intake.

Nice! Dont trip I got a panther also. You just have to be happy in the 55-57 mph zone. Your berkley buddies just get there a little quicker! But your at the party!!!!

  while yer berk buddies are rebuilding you get to spend more time at the lake.

My Berk, Dom and Jacuzzi get rebuilt every 5 years or 500 hrs, which ever comes first, Just sayin'
But that panther will pump concrete pretty good..
