325 drag radials

Right when I saw the turbos, I told myself, this has to be in Australia. Looks sweet!

I hope you have done lots and lots of chassis strengthening or with that you are going to have a pretzel. It does look cool though.

It actually a 808 but all the rotor heads have there noise out of joint!

Chassis is ok, getting ladder bars put in at the moment, it ran 8.8 on its first pass on the radials with a 20b on low boost

Only 7.50's? Looks like a 6 sec build to me if you can make everything else work. That's a **** ton o' turbos on that thing.

^ It is just because the car is so small. It looks like a normal car with twins on a BBC.

crazy! That short wheelbase with so much torque is going to be major pucker factor. I think you could run 7's without even maxing it out. Aerodynamics are going to be the only limiting factor .... certainly not weight.
