It's a mild setup for this year, cam only, stock shortblock, stock heads, still got a nitrous kit to put on it. I'm hoping to weigh in at 2400lbs with me in it.

Very nice.
Does it have the epic 396rwhp cam-only build?
LOL, jk.

I wish it would make that, nah, it will make probably 320rwhp through the converter, hopefully it will leave hard enough to go 10's on the motor though, the nitrous converter will be holding it back quite a bit when it is just on motor though.

It looks absolutely horrendous, but it should be fast. Is the metal work moly or mild steel?

I seriously think it should weigh less than that.

Drove about 75 miles today, runs a little warm on the highway(215 degrees) so going to try to get more air to the radiator, other than needing the tune dialed in it drives great. I need to get a longer spring for the rear(bottoms out the shocks) and get the 4 link dialed in also.

I did weigh it though, 2320 with me in it and no sun roof or back lexan.(20lbs at most between those two)

Is it a full chassis car or just a back half? Mild steel or moly?

mild, I want to switch to moly down the road to drop some more weight, it's a full chassis.

Friday put 100 miles on it to make sure it was solid before a big local cruise on Saturday, then on Saturday put another 150 miles on it. I still need to find some front wheels, get more than a base tune, get the nitrous on, and the 4 link dialed in. Here is a pic from Saturday at one of the cruise spots.
