Default 25.5 project complete
Scot and I have begun the thrash to get the car back together. With a little luck, we will be testing in three weeks.

It looks damn good. Do you think you'll be running NA record numbers with the new setup?

Thanks. Lots of work to do, but Im pleased with where it is right now. Record times? We'll see. Tough to come right out the gate perfect with a brand new set up. Im confident we will be much better than last year.

Wasnt cheap. I had a TON of other stuff done at the same time, and the final bill wasnt well itemized. Fab shop did the 25.5, battery mount, mini tubs, torque arm mount, trans mount, mounts for fiberglass dash, racepak, and MSD box, engine limiter, steering shaft mount, shifter mount, window net kit, seat brackets, and build a custom set of stainless headers. best bet is to call and get a quote on just the 25.5
Mine was done by HFR in MD.
