Project: Underdog Picked up a 1994 Pontiac Formula a while back to use as a daily driver.
That lasted for a few months before my driving habits changed enough that I didn't need a beater anymore to keep the miles off my other cars. So I have decided to build a little "street" car to sneak up on the unsuspecting at the local drag strips.
Goals:
1) civil enough to pick up kids from school
2) 9 second timeslips
How I plan to meet those goals:
396cid, Ross Pistons, Eagle crank/rods
Hand Ported AFR 227s
LT4 Intake
T&D Shaftmounts
258/268 .6xx/.6xx 11x lsa Solid Roller
Goebel 4L60e
Vigilante 3800
Moser 12 bolt 3:73s
All the usual tubular/adjustable suspension parts.
Nitrous Outlet LTx Plate system w/dedicated fuel system.
The project is nearing completion and should be making its first passes by spring.

...I have big plans for that one. Plans involving an x275 88mm.
