I always like to give credit where it's due when a project/goal is finished. It's actually been FUN playing with a street car vs an all out race car for a change of pace. I've been playing with my street car project on and off for the last 3 years or so and finally got it to the track at BG this year. I achieved my goal of a LOW 10/HIGH 9 second car that pounds out 750HP and is perfectly streetable. This car can run LOW 10s to HIGH 9s all day long with 60ft times in the 1.38 range on drag radials and then drive across country with the AC on. :biggrin:
I want to thank the following for helping me get it there:
Cal and Holly Hartline of Hartline Performance
Holly for always hooking me up with cool parts like billet wheel turbos, XFI systems, injectors, Aerospace brakes, and the list goes on.............
Cal for the XFI and AMS tuning advice as well as answering all my wiring questions (I like gadgets)
Patrick Rubio of Precision Turbo for the advice and support on the turbo selection
Billy Anderson of Anderson Performance for the stout shortblock with STOCK rotating assembly and the hand ported GN1 heads
Jason at RJC racing for the cool bling-bling pulleys and oil pan
Brian Hoffer for the bulletproof 2004R tranny
Dusty Bradford for the super efficient PTC converter
Mark Savitske at SC&C the G-body chassis guru for the front suspension parts selection and setup advice
Paul Ferry at H&R Parts for the simply awesome rear control arms and sway bar that help this thing hook with DRs better than a lot of race cars can on slicks

Holeshot Wheels for hooking me up with some of the lightest wheels out there
Jim Craig at Weldon for the fuel system plumbing ideas and advice
Scott Ford at Ford Machine for being my friend and personal machinist on call and fabbing all those weird parts I come up with even when you don't know what the heck they are!
