    6's??

    I wish this car would see a 6. Not gonna happen with my current motors.

    More like 8.40

    I have several of these cars and many parts.

    My stock set up went 11.49 with a 1.56 60'

    I also have a big block street with a 589 and NOS
    It's been 6.20 in the 1/8. Hard to put it all down without spinning.

    I gave a nice aluminum radiator with dual (4500cfm) fans.
    When it was on my car it never saw 165...

    It you need parts or help let me know.

    Very nice! Have you looked at our build?

    I really like what you have done, I had no idea you had the bug that bad;) Keep the pics coming please!

    BTW, put a V6 back in there:)

    I have seen your build, pics and video of the white car with flames. Awesome!!!!!

    4.80's ?? Just Awesome....I am putting cotter pins on my door hinges because of you...lol

    We will be painting the chassi & cage this weekend...Steve Miller from Gulfport will be doing the tin work ( he's better than us ) The motor for now will be the 572 @ 960Hp. I should see a nice 8.40.

    Looking back I could have put more into it, but I am using what I got to keep the cost low. It will serve as Bracket, Index, S/G S/C and perform well.
    I really would love to see a big turbo on there one day, but aside from my (mostly stock) set-up i have very little experience in that area. That and the cost...business isn't what it used to be.
