Guy's here are a few more spec's,
31 x 10.5w tires
359 c.i LS1
Stock suspension (torque arm and all)

We will be ready for NvsS, no problem there. We are hoping for 1350-1400 fly wheel HP. That should be good enuff for 7's at the track!
Guy's at the shop are working hard on this car and we should be ready in a few weeks. We were/are trying to make the central F body neet in May. Hopefully we can get it done for that date.

More pic's will be up later this week, the car is a little further a long than pic's show.

Did you say "stock torque arm", or stock mounting location?

That looks sweet, What B.S rims are you running, and I assume you are running a narrowed rear end, how much was it narrowed?

IA m sure they are using a floor mounted torque arm with stock mount to the 9 inch or 12 bolt. (whichever they have) there is no way a 1400hp car would be tailshaft mounted...

I think 1400hp is a pretty loft goal hehe Hope you plan on welding the heads to the block

Doh I didnt see flywheel. C5R heads/custom intake I guess or Ls1 based? I dont see how you'll keep the stock heads down with 1400hp but I'd love to see it happen!

I have no idea on the 1200hp setup, but Duke makes like 1030rw right? If so, he's keeping the heads down with about 1200fwhp.
