Default New Setup is Done....*PICS*

Not bad looking for another home built ls1 lol…. Here is a link to the pics:

http://www.nd.edu/~caschenb/

I have literally built this entire setup in a span of 4-5 months pretty much by myself. I have learned a lot about fabrication and welding during the buildup….I have TONS of late nights in this car and am glad to finally have it done…..

Need to thank my Dad and girlfriend Jennifer for all of their help and supporting my racecar habit 100%. Also need to thank my buddies Dean Jonas( for his help with the cage and teaching me to TIG) and Wade Rodgers (for everything in general) for helping out....and basically anybody who helped lend a hand….couldn’t have done it without them.

The car is built for my 402 13:1 solid roller project but now only has last year’s motor (which I slammed together at 3am one night…surprised it still runs!). I’ve changed the n20 setup and added a ‘glide as well. It might see a BBC sometime down the road.

Hope to see some low 9’s with the current setup and mid-8’s with my purpose built motor.

sweetness! Hope you consider adding the funny-car cage areas if you're wanting to run faster than 8.50's next year.

BBC?
