If you are considering running this class, this is probably the cheapest way in. The next event (LSX Shootout in Indy) is a month away, so there is plenty of time for testing prior. This car can easily be adapted for X275 or Ultra Street with a little work as well (plus local Real Street classes). And it has not been cut up, so it can easily be converted back to a streetcar if need be.

Thank you. Those are Holeshot Hole Star 15x10 with Titanium finish with Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial 275/60/15. On the one clean pass it went a 1.65 in the 60' on motor with these tires (@20psi).

Update: it is going back to SAM for the final dyno tune. Unless I hear otherwise, the car will be coming back to FL after that in time for winter testing.

Here is the latest story:
http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/eng...new-ls7-heads/
The motor is being freshened up by SAM right now and they are making a few small changes to squeak a little more power out of it.

Update: gained another 25hp and the car is ready to move. I dropped the price as well. Let me know ASAP if you are in Texas and interested because the car is coming back to FL soon.
