Looks like a very promising setup..I dont think you will have any problems with 9's as long as the track is working for you

Looks GREAT!! I'd like to see some close up shots of the engine bay. Did u use motor mounts or mid and front plates?
I'm dropping a 632 in mine. It's purchased and on the way. I'm using Burkardts front and mid plates.

Super clean Car. Very Impressive. Makes me think of tossing in a BBC in my 02 Formula and hanging a big single on it. It would be fun in the local Wild Street 1/8th mile Class.
