Man, great build! From the license plate it looks like you'll be putting it on the street as well as the strip?
|
The goal is all around outstanding car. Street, strip and road course. 700 rwhp is easily obtainable.
|
Cool build. Pretty tough to do a build that's good in all 3. I figured with the tubbed rear you'd go with an autotrans.
|
It would be faster with the turbo but I like to drive my car. Not stab and steer. 335/35/17 is whats going in the rear. Plenty of tire choices in that size. I just try to keep all the factors that make great cars in each kind of racing and try to pick the best compromises between them all. Weight, power, traction, chassis stiffness and suspension. I hope I succeed!

Im using hooker swap manifolds and flipping them up and forward. Most people use truck manifolds. The hooker manifolds have larger primaries and are tighter to the engine.

Hey great to see you back! I have looked at this thread many times and been amazed. You are a fine craftsman for sure and I hope you keep the photos coming!

Its been slow going with it lately. Time to work on it and money. The frame is next to start on.

I've been busy. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...ps013aeb00.jpg

Gonna do some more tomorrow. Finish mounting front sub frame. Triangulate the front rail to the upright. I set the turbos on the rails just for the pure excitement of it. This thing is gonna be wicked! http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...ps18fe7c0d.jpg
