Default Few upgrades...

Over the past year with the help of friends and family Ive been slowly making progress on my car and its finally starting to get close to putting engine back in.... Been a long time coming, mostly my fault because Ive changed plans countless times, not really changed my plans but the whole if Im going to do that WELL I NEED TO DO THAT scenario.. Started out as making the car a little safer cause I havent had a cage in the car and its been making ok power for a couple years and starting to get a lil faster every year. Blew the engine up last year and the plan was to just put it back together for now but that has since changed and decided to put a LSX Block in it and also rewired the whole car and changed to Fast XFI and finally putting a good boost controller on it with the AMS1000. Past two years ive had a crappy dual stage controller Its not everything I want but what I can afford now and hopefully i can keep going in the right direction for what I want the car to be in the end...

Thanks guys......


And about the cage Joey, my friends Shannon and peanut did the cage... They both are at the track about every weekend with there 10.5 cars if you ever want to talk to them. They are great guys and do good work for a good price.. They did Josh's cage in his camaro a few weeks back, didnt know if he showed you any pics while at Holley Fest. If you get serious about changing cage and want to check with them just hit me and up and I can give you his number, he lives in Marshfield so not too far from you.

The rear tires are a 295 tire with stock width rear-end with mini-tubs... wheels are 7.5 backspace and the rear will be raised a little but not much once engine is back in car.
