Yeah the HP/weight calculators put us REALLY flying. I think the biggest problem is going to be the aerodynamics of the car. It is still a real Buick TR body. All the lines are the same. So it is still a brick going down the track
 We are searching for a Carbon Fiber Body and hoping to make some changes to the design. If not we are considering laying the roof line down some, shaving all the door channels etc... Problem is at what point is it no longer a TR body? Remember the car is set up to drop in a BB. Fuel Management has everything there as well, just plug in extra two cylinders. We could easily drop in a 3000+hp BB and run some big numbers  We set out to build the baddest Grand National in history....

In my humble opinion, you guys have really pulled off one of the two major challenges in this project..... the first challenge is.....you obvoiusly built a car much like no other Buick in history..... however... you have not yet embarked on the second challenge...... which is actually running the number.......
IMHO.... you guys have enough talent at your fingertips... that this is will happen in due time..... as I am sure there will be some kinks to work out..... with all the "out-of-the-box" thinking that has landed parts that have never been tried on a turbo Buick. For this.... I applaud...... I must say... you have built one fine race car......to the likes no one has ever seen in the Turbo Buick community. FWIW..... when I saw the Gallina/Freeman car run this year at BG..... from the look.... and the sound... at the hit of the throttle during the burnout....which sounded like 9000RPM........ Im could tell this car was in a class by itself..... and it didn't disappoint..... I believe you guys have taken it (at least) one notch higher. NOW GET OUT THERE AND RUN A NUMBER...... Pep-Rally is over!

Some more photos... we're not going to have the car ready for Test and Tune tonight.. everyone here has worked 70+ hours on it this week and there's just too much small stuff to do. The amount of fabrication in this car is insane and we've simply run out of time. Reynolds looks good tho and we may even have it at the track next week for some shakedown passes. Im trying to talk Shane into at least bringing the car so everyone can see it in person. Im very proud of the workmanship in this car. The guys here did a great job. I'd put this car up against anything that comes out of anyone's shop anywhere. Its that nice.

Why the TH 400? At that weight I would think a glide or maybe even a clutch would work better..

Everytime I check this thread it just gets better and better!
Awesome work on this car guys, it's hard to believe you guys got it that light. Keep in mind the NHRA Pro Stock cars and most of the fastest ProMod doorslammers weigh 2350lbs w/ driver so that alone should definitely help make it one flying brick!

Car is absolutely killer guys. It looks like it will run the big numbers just sitting still. No doubt all the pieces are in place - now all you have left to do is run the number. Good luck!
