Talk to Steve Goodman first, if he doesn't go far enough give me a jingle. Or get Steve to do most of the work and I will do the heads and modify the turbo!

I doubt you will find anyone closer (Golden is 20 miles from Littleton) or anyone with more experience than Steve Goodman. He owns a 62 Monza Spyder that he raced for many years THAT HE BOUGHT NEW AND STILL HAS.

Thanks gentlemen I sent a PM very early this morning so I will wait for a phone call.

best wishes, Steve

Thanks, Ken. I spoke with Steve Goodman. He recommends you highly. I will be in touch.

Thanks, Timothy. I spoke with Steve. Great buy. BTW: I am in Finksburg, Maryland and need to talk with people experienced in getting the turbo engine to operate at peak power for a quarter mile. The engine has to look stock.

I'd start with Dyno time and a well known Vair Turbo tuner. Some guys have Turbo cars that run high 12's in the quarter.

Is this a "grudge race" or a Class of NHRA?

You can put a lot of $$ INSIDE a Vair engine Big Bore 3Litre Massive head flow work, and enlargement of the YH.

Glad you got ahold of Steve. But I thought you were in Littleton Colorado (a suburb of Denver).

His phone is out of Littleton! My cell is a Reno number... left there in 2008.

First thing after a tune up is a Safeguard. Amazing difference!

Hey Matt, is that throttle body yours, and did you ever use it? I had thought about doing the same, but you’re still stuck with venturi, which is kinda restrictive.

Results? Let us know.

Not mine... just pic off the web.

Tell us about your car! How long have you been driving it? ATTACH some pics. You've found a place to "talk" about this. Now tell us about yourself! What Corvair experience do you have? What is your budget?

This info helps us help you!

Thanks.
We race Nostalgia Super STock Oldsmobiles, but I have always had a thing for Corvairs (my first new car in 1963). My college buddy and I ran a 64 Spyder back in the day and whipped up on many a stock 283 Chevy. So I would love to have my 64 Spyder be "stock appearing" drag car. I have never seen one at any event. I would love to meet up with those guys who campaign 12 second turbo Corvairs.

Here's Billy Bruce. He's down south PM v8Vair here who knows Billy.
