Awesome looking setup, simple, clean and all business.

Should be a very strong runner, what are your goals for the car?

my goal is a 9.0 in the quarter on motor. realistically looking probably at about 9.3's 1/4mile looking for a 6.0 in the eigth. raceweight should be right around 3000lbs maybe a little under. i will have an exact weight this next weekend and than to the track. it might go that fast if it makes what i want it to. everyone i have talked to thinks it should make between 800-850 flywheel hp so im thinking 650-700rwhp would be amazing through a th400

I can tell ya that at 3350 (which you look to be a good bit lighter then that) I've gone 9.5 @ 142 with a 150 hit on a motor that made 470 thru a TH400, if you can make 650 to 700 you should be well at the goals that you have set.

Very nice build man!!! What RPM do you plan to spin too? How do you like that front distributor setup, I have been thinking that route as well. Again, nice car and good luck on your goal.
