I'm no expert by any means, but do you think that you would benefit from a smaller crossover? I think that i read that a 2.5" will support 2500HP or so. Not criticizing, just looking to learn something. It might not matter in a drag race application like this build.

You Are correct and I did have some concern about it at first, but being a drag only application, as long as I can get it spooled up on the line, it shouldn't be an issue.

well, obviously Kil-Kare will get a lot of use, but as far as actually racing, I plan on my main priority being the LSx Challenge Races.
