Drag Racing Tech - *Update on my Camaro*

My car has sat since last November, which was the last time I ran it. 2 weeks ago I dropped it off at NRC Motorsports. Bob and Jay at NRC are top notch fabricators who can do anything! Anyway, a quick update on the car:
*10pt cage w/ window net
*Aerospace Brakes front and rear (thanks Billingsley)!!
*Custom subframe connectors
*VFN hood
*Suspension Limiters
*Serious weight reduction

Here are a few pictures of the cage under progress. Everything should be all finished up w/ in the next week or so. Then its off to Cartek for a valve spring upgrade and a quick lookover. Then its to the track! I will put it into the 8's within the next few track visits! Thanks for looking.

Looks good.. BBC is a fun fit :D

Lookin good Mike.

Thats a nice looking cage, it will be interesting to see how you hook that car with the big shot out of the hole

Looks impressive!
Cro-moly cage?
How big of a BBC are you gonna stick in it?
Those engines sure are fun. :burn:

Thanks again fellas! NRC Motorsports deserves all the credit!

Yes, its chromoly cage. I will be looking into something in the 540 ci. range, solid roller, moderate compression and BIG spray!

Stay with the LS1!!!! I tinkered around with putting a 632 in my car. After thinking about it, who doesn't have a big block in their drag car? Everybody has one. Do something different.

I agree. i know my next motor will be 427 or bigger, but alum ls1/ls6/c5r one of the above as big as possable

Looks awesome Mike. Can't wait to hear when you bust up the 8's.

is the vfn hood for weight reduction? or just for looks?
