We really enjoyed working on Skip’s Grand Sport. This car had been through A LOT. As noted in a previous post, we had our work cut out for us with cleaning up the sloppy craftsmanship from another shop. We were able to give Skip’s ride new custom heads, a pro built Supercharger, and a lot of other custom work. After our work she pulled an awesome 575 rear wheel hp. That is almost 700 horsepower at the fly wheel!!!
When Skip got back to Florida he reported the following regarding his trip:
“We are here in Naples Florida. The car cruised along flawlessly between
75 and 80 mph. I checked the catch can when we got here, and there was
about 1/2 teaspoon of oil. Once again, pat yourself on the back my
friend, you nailed it. Mileage averaged between 23 and 24 mpg. WOW!!”
