Default Another Drag Radial Car comes to life...
For those of you who don't hang out in the FI section

Full version:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...ld-thread.html

Cliff notes:
Virginia Speed 427 (RHS Block)
ETP 265 cathedral heads
Solid roller valvetrain
Super Victor intake
Billet Atomizer 225lb/hr fuel injectors
PT106 turbo
SFI 25.3 cage
3280lb raceweight

Mostly garage built car...definately not as pimp as some of the other high dollar builds here

*Almost* first startup (this is really the 4th or 5th after working out some bugs)
http://home.comcast.net/~tfranklin5580/427_startup.wmv

few pics
The car (just after paint)




(Engine bay before everything was finished - but is a wider view)




Interior (dash is out in this picture)

Can't find any way to get ahold of him now that he's making pro-mod bodies. :-(


Regardless--> pure work of art on your hands man! And extra props for the home built taste! I know how proud you are of it coming out of your own garage.

That car has really come together. Would not be suprised to see a future GMHTP Feature Article on it.
